Environmental and Social Risk Policies
ING Lease & Factoring sells financial products and services in 16 European countries. We aim to pursue a profit, but not at any cost. For instance not at the cost of the environment and biodiversity, nor at the expense of people or human rights.
We have our own vision on ethical topics, the environment, people and society. This vision is translated into the policies we apply all over the world. By promoting continuous dialogue with our stakeholders - ING’s employees, customers and shareholders, but also organisations engaged in issues concerning human rights or the climate - we are able to constantly evaluate our policies and adjust them where necessary.
More information on our Business Ethics policies
ING Lease follows the scope of the Environmental and Social Risk (ESR) policies in its daily practice when making new business. To highlight the importance that ING Lease gives to this aspect, all the members of the Credit Risk department in ING Holding attended the training given by Susanne van Wateringen on the 2nd July. Members of General Lease Netherlands and Car Lease International attended this meeting too. There were more than 20 attendants for this training. During the trainings developments in the ESR policy were covered, especially where ING Lease was involved. Attendants participated actively with questions that affect the daily business. Furthermore, the importance to follow the ESR policy has been highlighted in the recent newsletter that Lease Credit Risk sends to all the Business units.
