Social responsibility
Encouraged by shareholders, governments and consumers, an increasing number of companies are attempting to integrate social responsibility into their business activity and strategy. This also applies to us. LeasePlan have developed global initiatives, and our subsidiaries are also actively engaged in local projects.
As regards fleet, one of the most important issues to take into consideration is CO2 emissions and their impact on global warming. For this reason we have introduced GreenPlan, which includes a list of measure to reduce and/or compensate for CO2 emissions (choice of car, introduction of fuel limits, driver behaviour etc.).
LeasePlan has also taken the initiative to help children in developing countries and as a result founded LeasePlan ChildPlan in 2006. The main objective of the project is to build more orphanages for street children, a health center to provide street children with free medical treatment, and much more. We are currently the largest sponsor of Child Watabaran Center Nepal which helps street children in Kathmandu, Nepal.
