Pathways to Impact

Volunteering

Inter Volunteering is a group formed by employees from all areas of the company and its affiliates, created with the intention of strengthening our commitment to society and the connection of the Orange Blood team with Inter’s purpose and values.

To achieve these objectives, we have three types of social actions that involve the Inter Volunteers: thematic actions, emergency actions, and volunteer call. Volunteers participate in dynamics, financial education lectures, and theater performances with the aim of reaching diverse audiences in the volunteer actions promoted by the group.

“Those who do good go further” – Slogan of the Inter Volunteering group.

Volunteers Call

In order to encourage employees’ social projects and causes, since 2020, we have been carrying out the Volunteer Call. Through the Call, which is open biannually, employees can submit social projects to receive support from Inter.

Since 2020, we have already supported over 60 projects of differents social causes!

Volunteer Awards

In order to celebrate the effort and engagement of the Inter team members who have been most involved in the actions of Inter Volunteers, we hold two annual awards:

Volunteer of the Year

For this award, Inter takes into account two criteria: number of participations in volunteer actions, involvement in ‘hands-on’ work, and the volunteer’s impact related to Inter Materiality.

Volunteer X

The Volunteer X is a multiplier, a person who brings new employees to the volunteering team. At the end of the year, the individual who engaged the most people receives the title.

And in the constant maintenance of this trust, our code of ethics works as a guide, expressing in a practical way to our team and partners the principles and standards that must always guide our attitudes.

All employees, trainees, business partners, customers, and service providers have free access to report any deviations for investigation.

What is the Sustainable Living section?

Sustainability is one of the priorities here at Inter. In addition to simplifying our customers’ day-to-day lives through the Super APP, since 2019 we have advanced the ESG agenda internally, generating value for society and the planet.

Thinking about this evolution, we thought about how we could put Sustainability in the palm of the hands of our customers. To this end, we created the Sustainable Living section to encourage our customers to adopt attitudes that are more sustainable in their daily lives and including them in this transformation to a more balanced world.

The Sustainable Living section is a first in a digital account in Brazil, built to help people make a difference in other people’s lives and on the planet through volunteer work, donations, knowledge, calculation and offsetting of carbon and much more.

A better world in your Super App: in the Sustainable Living section you calculate and offset your impact on the Climate, can make donations, register for volunteer work, access free content from Financial Education and much more!

Recurring cashback donation

In the Sustainable Living section, you can donate all or part of your cashback received from Inter to help partner social institutions. The amount chosen by the customer is automatically directed to the account of the social institution with each cashback receipt, until the maximum amount chosen per month is reached.

The institutions available for donation go through a rigorous evaluation process and are recognized for their commitment to humanity and the planet, such as WWF – Brazil, Doctors Without Borders – Brazil and Child Fund – Brazil. Click here to learn more. Click here to learn more.

Volunteer Work

In the Sustainable Life section, we offer thousands of volunteer positions throughout Brazil, whether they are in-person, online, recurring, or one-time.

The volunteer work function is offered by Inter through a partnership with Atados, a volunteer platform that connects people to volunteer opportunities in various social causes. Atados has a network of 3,700 NGOs and 200,000 volunteers and is now integrated into our Inter Super APP.

Knowledge

We aim to simplify and provide our customers with access to various knowledge related to Sustainability, Financial Education, and Digital Security. To this end, we have gathered the following topics under the Knowledge tab in the Sustainable Life section:

Financial Education – Open and free articles and videos to help our customers have a healthier financial life.
Socio-environmental Education – Articles to support our customers in taking actions for sustainability.
Digital Security – Articles aimed at raising awareness among our customers about ways to protect themselves financially and digitally.

Carbon Calculator

One of the most harmful consequences for our planet is the emission of greenhouse gases, the main cause of global warming.

In the Sustainable Life section, through a Carbon Calculator developed in partnership with GSS Carbon, it is possible to answer some quick questions to estimate your annual impact on the climate. After calculating, we also offer the opportunity to offset this emission by buying carbon credits with cashback in the Inter Shop.

Sustainable Stores in the Inter Shop

A store becomes more sustainable as it puts into practice actions aimed at reducing the negative impact its activities have on the environment, recognizing its socio-environmental responsibility. With that in mind, we have created a selection of Inter Shop partners who have sustainability-related differentials so that, when buying, our customers can choose stores that use resources conscientiously. We have also partnered with Pangeia and Fazendinha em Casa, which focus on small producers and sustainable products. The complete list of stores is available in the Sustainable Life section.

Doutor Inter

Doutor Inter is a function for simple and accessible online urgent care consultation, available in the Super APP. With it, more and more people have access to quality healthcare services at affordable prices without having to travel great distances. There are over 30 specialties, such as psychology, nutritionist, cardiologist, dermatologist, endocrinologists, and others with simplified hiring directly through the Inter Super APP.

We want to grow making a difference

Besides simplifying, we want to contribute to improving people’s lives and be part of the change that gives autonomy to those who use our Super App, in Brazil and around the world.

We innovate every day through product and service diversification and have a business model that keeps growing while contributing to sustainable development.

Inter Materiality

We consulted our key stakeholders to define our materiality matrix. It reflects the perception of internal and external stakeholders on the priority topics for our business model.

This concept guides our ESG strategy and makes us offer the most adequate solutions according to the risks and opportunities of our business.
