Environment, Social, Governance (ESG)

Complete Profitability

Sustainability is a business imperative for resilience, thereby paving a path for shared and inclusive growth. At IIFL Home Finance, our sustainability strategy is governed by the idea of ‘Complete Profitability – An ESG Initiative’. Complete Profitability is our ESG DNA which is a reflection of the impact made through various initiatives that the Company drives towards the enrichment and growth of its four pillars of success, i.e. Employees, Organization, Society, and Environment. Our motto is to achieve ‘Complete Profitability’ across all four aforementioned pillars, allowing us to catalyse growth and create operational efficiency.

ESG Framework

Our integrated vision and focus on efficiency, management, and productivity through our ‘Complete Profitability’ model has laid the path of creating value by incorporating Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives within our business ecosystem.

The ESG framework lays the foundation for integrating critical ESG aspects in our core business functions and operational boundary. The approach adopted under the model brings on board not only our employees and customers, but also the environment and the immediate ecosystem in which we operate. We also have systems are in place for mitigating risk and monitoring of ESG Performance periodically.

Environment Consideration

Our objective is to minimize our natural resource footprint and carbon emissions, to promote strategies that encourage these reductions, and help mitigate impacts of climate change. In support of this objective, we launched a Green Building Initiative ‘Kutumb’, to reduce the environmental footprint of our construction finance loan portfolio by focusing on promoting sustainable and energy-efficient real estate development.

Social Consideration and Employees

We are committed to conducting business in an affordable, accessible, and sustainable manner. Our products are designed around a philosophy that truly understands the borrower’s ecosystem and caters to their needs. Our offerings under Secured SME Loans have been developed keeping in mind the socioeconomic backgrounds of our customers. We also continue to promote women empowerment, employee welfare, and occupational health and safety programs.

Governance

We have developed a sound and a robust governance structure, with clear roles and responsibilities that showcase adherence to business ethics through our detailed policies and procedures on anti corruption, anti-bribery, data protection, and customer privacy norms amongst other policies. Not limiting us to compliance requirements, we aim to go beyond, by continuing to adapt to ever evolving international ESG parameters and standards.
