Value for stakeholdersAs we achieve new economic successes, we continue to create value for our stakeholders.

Esteemed stakeholders,

2020 was an unprecedented period…

We have left behind a year during which the impacts of the coronavirus epidemic were felt deeply across the world and our country alike and which we had not experienced before in social and economic terms.

Triggering the greatest social and economic crisis of the century, the pandemic cost millions of lives and brought about an inevitable transformation process for all the stakeholders of economic life. The pandemic required comprehensive social and economic measures to be taken around the world and in our country. While the world economy entered a serious recession due to the restrictions and lockdown measures, global trade weakened significantly.

While governments and central banks announced stimulus packages one after another against the Covid-19 threat, which upset the usual ways of doing business, global financial measures were introduced to eliminate the permanent damage that the pandemic cause in the axes of employment, supply chains and production capacity.

….the upcoming period requires a much more meticulous and cautious business approach.

In the upcoming period, the policies that national governments will follow to improve health and education services, digital infrastructure, business and governance practices will help alleviate the economic damage caused by the pandemic and increase shared prosperity.

Uncertainties have started to decrease relatively, thanks to the positive developments in the support of widespread vaccination campaigns and compliance with the measures. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the world economy and global trade evolve while the actors who quickly adapt to the market realities and internalize new patterns of doing business will stand out in terms of competition and shape the future.

The winners of this race will be those who internalize sustainability in all aspects, achieve a robust performance regarding the Environmental and Social Management System, and accurately perceive and manage the risks and opportunities offered by the emerging market.

Contribution We aim to contribute to the local economy, society and Sustainable Development Goals via the investments we finance.

İş Leasing is advancing towards the future with determined steps, hand in hand with its stakeholders.

Under the specific conditions of 2020, İş Leasing set the health of all its stakeholders, especially its employees, and protecting employment as its main priorities, while continuing to create and share economic value by ensuring the continuity of the product-service-solution cycle.

The remote working model that we quickly introduced under the prevailing pandemic conditions, the financial support we offered to our clients and the financial success we achieved despite these challenging conditions have proven once again that we are a reliable and robust company.

İş Leasing continued to offer support to SMEs and the real sector in such an extraordinary economic environment, where difficulties and uncertainties increased on a global scale, and increased its market share and number of clients with its successful results, while maintaining its asset quality through effective risk management.

Prioritizing sustainability and digitalization in 2020, our Company increased its financing support in renewable energy investments and stood out especially with its financing solutions in solar energy investments.

Determined, strong and correct steps for a sustainable world

The pandemic has been a strong alarm bell bringing the risks to the future of humanity to the agenda. On the other hand, the effectiveness of solidarity and cooperation in solving problems has been experienced in the humanitarian dimension of the process while it has also been witnessed that acting together and generating human-oriented solutions accelerate the processes.

While the fact that a sustainable world is possible with determined, strong and correct steps to be taken starting from today has come to the forefront of the agenda, the awareness that only achieving economic sustainability and financial risk perception are not sufficient for economic actors has become widespread and stronger.

We focus on creating permanent stakeholder value by making a difference.

In addition to its robust economic performance and contributions to the economy, İş Leasing improves its ability to respond quickly to changes through its practices that make a difference in the sector, taking into account the environmental and social impacts of its products and services. The concept of sustainability, which has been one of the important agenda topics for a long time, lies at the heart of corporate culture.

While achieving new economic successes, we continue to create value for our stakeholders and aim to contribute to the local economy, society and Sustainable Development Goals via the investments we finance.

In the future, we will continue to blend financial success with social responsibility, promote healthy living habits and protect the environment, as we did in the past.

As İş Leasing, we focus on creating more added value while expanding our customer base, and we maintain our determination to be the industry’s leading company in sustainability through our agile and flexible management approach.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you, our esteemed business partners, colleagues, suppliers and all our stakeholders who supported us, who I believe we will achieve many more successes together.

Chairman of the Board
