Lifelong learning
Actions speak louder than words
At ISDI, we act according to our values. We teach students how to reduce their business impact on the environment, and we practice what we teach. We establish fair and equal treatment with the people we work with, whether employees, students, suppliers or other stakeholders. On a social level, we contribute to reducing the digital divide for the most vulnerable groups by collaborating with NGOs and specialist foundations.
