Stakeholder Opinion
Sustainability is an entity that should be considered together with its economic, environmental and social dimensions, and financial support, energy, climate change and digitalization are considered as important topics within the leasing sector. From this perspective, İş Leasing is considered as a leading company in the industry with a perspective that is integrated with its customers and suppliers and raises awareness in the field of sustainability.
One of İş Leasing’s priorities in the field of sustainability is stakeholder communication, which it maintains in line with the principles of accuracy, transparency and reliability. In addition, it is one of the exemplary organizations of the leasing sector through its ethical approach based on integrity, reliability and transparency. Since these concepts are embraced and adopted by all employees of the Company, we consider İş Leasing as an important business partner in every transaction we carry out.
On the other hand, İş Leasing took utmost measures throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to protect the health of both its employees and stakeholders in parallel with the importance attached to the working life. Moreover, it stands out with the support it offers to female employees in order to reduce inequalities as well as the activities performed in the field of education and respect for nature.
İş Leasing is an active player in the field of climate change through its activities in the financing of products that support the fight against the climate change, which requires global efforts and poses environmental, economic and social problems. While supporting transition to a low-carbon economy in this context, it also contributes to the steps taken by both manufacturers and customers to combat and adapt to the climate change. We believe that İş Leasing will continue to execute impactful projects in this area.
As a result of global developments and technological progress in recent years, digital transformation is inevitable in the leasing sector, as in every sector. While ensuring the transformation of business processes and ways of doing business, the leasing industry needs to be digitalized to as much as permitted by the law in order to mitigate the negative impacts of activities on the environment. İş Leasing attaches importance to ensuring customer satisfaction by getting to know its customers, establishing open communication and acting with a solution-oriented approach. In this context, it is important for İş Leasing to prioritize digitalization as it is considered as a factor that directly affects customer satisfaction.
We believe that İş Leasing can focus on digitalization, the protection of natural resources, combating climate change and supporting energy efficiency in addition to its sustainable growth and profitability targets. We also observe that risk management, digitalization, competent human resources, solid funding sources and customer satisfaction are among the areas where the Company is most successful in sustainability management.
