Şirketlerin Sürdürülebilirlik ve Sosyal Sorumluluk Anlayışlarının Finansal Performaslarına Etkisi Üzerine Bir İnceleme: Türkiye Uygulaması

Birikim ve tasarrufların değerlendirilmesinde finansal araçlara yatırım yapılması anlayışının yatırımcılar tarafından uygun bulunmasından bu yana, yatırımcılar, yatırım seçimlerini yaparken, yatırımların topluma faydalı olup olmadığı kriterlerini de dikkate almaktadırlar. Yatırım seçimleri, sosyal norm ve değerlerle paralel şekilde gelişmektedir. Bu çalışmada, dünyadaki gelişmiş ekonomilerde sürdürülebilirlik ve sosyal sorumluluk anlayışının geçirdiği değişim ile bu süreçleri uygulayan firmaların finansal performanslarının nasıl etkilendiği konusu üzerinde yapılan araştırmalar ve çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Sosyal sorumluluk ile finansal performans arasında doğru yönlü ilişkilerin saptandığı örneklere yer verilmiş böylece, Türkiye’de sürdürülebilirlik ve sosyal sorumluk faaliyetlerini gerçekleştiren veya bu konuda motivasyonu olan firmaların elde edebilecekleri kazanımların neler olabileceği konusunda tahminler ileri sürülmüştür. Bu durum sürdürülebilirlik ve sosyal sorumluluk anlayışının her geçen gün öneminin artacağı konusunda ekonomik ve finansal kesimler üzerinde bir beklenti oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de sürdürülebilirlik ve sosyal sorumluluk uygulamaları bakımından önemli faaliyetleri olan şirketler ile daha az sürdürülebilir ve sosyal sorumluluk taşıyan şirketlerin 5 yıllık ortalama özkaynak karlılığı, aktif karılığı ve yatırım karlılığı verilerinden yola çıkarak bir karşılaştırma yapılması hedeflenmiştir. Yapılan inceleme sonucunda, sosyal sorumluluk ve sürdürülebilirlik faaliyetlerinden dolayı beğenilen şirketlerin, seçilen diğer şirketlere göre aktif karlılığı (ROI) oranları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
