Ethical Profile

Mixed.

CSG Systems International presents a mixed ethical picture. Despite ISO 27001, PCI DSS Level 1, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance, a subsidiary, CSG Consultants, allegedly experienced a 2024 data breach involving sensitive consumer information. Reports also suggest a separate customer data breach on their platform. The company targets carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035, with Scope 1 and 3 emissions decreasing and total energy consumption down from 2023-2024. However, Scope 2 emissions increased, and its recycled material ratio was 4% in 2024. CSG has strong anti-corruption policies and whistleblower protection, but comprehensive data on fines or ESG controversies is limited.
