Working @ Credendo
Credendo was created in 1921 as the official Belgian export credit agency. Over the years, our parent company Credendo – Export Credit Agency evolved from a traditional export credit agency into an international player. Its solidity is underlined by its maintained AA- rating from S&P Global and its cover capacity of EUR 33 billion. In addition to export credit and foreign investment insurance, our offer includes financial guarantees and direct financing. Our activities mainly focus on non-OECD countries as these markets involve the larger part of our clients’ risks.
Besides Credendo – Export Credit Agency, also our subsidiary Credendo – Trade Credit Insurance obtained an A rating from S&P Global, and Credendo – Guarantees & Speciality Risks saw its A- rating confirmed.
Today, all entities together form Credendo. As a European credit insurance group, we are present across the continent and active in all segments of trade credit and political risk insurance, providing a range of products that cover risks worldwide.

Leading Employer
Ranked among the top 1% of employers in Belgium, Credendo has confirmed its position as one of the country's most outstanding employers for the third consecutive year.
This recognition is based on an independent meta-analysis by the Institute of Research & Data Aggregation, evaluating employee satisfaction, HR expertise, benefits, CSR and values, health at work, reputation and more.
Credendo excelled in attractiveness and image, employee experience, as well as diversity, equity and inclusion – demonstrated by clear job postings, modern and inclusive language, and transparently expressed company values. High levels of employee satisfaction and strong recommendations highlight Credendo’s positive company culture.
The LEADING EMPLOYER quality label 2025 is a nice recognition of our commitment to creating a pleasant and stimulating working environment. It also reflects our ongoing efforts to make Credendo an attractive and credible employer – both externally and internally, a goal we will continue to foster.
Sustainability
Corporate sustainability is very important for Credendo. We conduct our business in a manner that is socially responsible and forward-looking, taking into consideration our impact on the environment, on society, on the economy, on our stakeholders and on our people. We pay attention to the sustainability of our own activity (direct impact) and to the sustainability of the transactions we support (indirect impact). These considerations are also reflected in our governance. We go further than our legal obligations to act sustainably as a corporation.
Our respect for human rights and environmental sustainability, our fight against corruption and our commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not only part of the corporate mission and values of Credendo, but are also integrated in our strategy and summarised in the tagline: ‘We want to grow and improve in a sustainable way’. We translated these principles into concrete actions. With our policy regarding public support for the energy transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, we want to contribute to the transition to renewable energy. Besides this, we launched the Credendo Green Package, a series of incentives aiming to support projects and companies that have a positive impact on the environment and on society.
Credendo continuously strives to provide its services with full due diligence and professionalism, with respect for honesty and business ethics, and compliance with any laws, rules, regulations and best practices pertaining to our sector.
