Abstract

Sustainability has become a concept that has gained importance especially today in terms of making the relations of businesses with their stakeholders more robust and long-term. Today's consumers have become more sensitive about sustainability and sustainable products and services respond to this sensitivity, making businesses preferred by consumers. Especially in the building products industry, sustainability can be addressed in various areas from the construction process to maintenance and reuse throughout the life cycle. The aim of this study is to investigate how the concept of sustainability is handled in the marketing context of a company operating in the building products industry. In the study, "Kale İyi Bak Dünyana" project as a marketing communication tool is analyzed as a case study. By collecting data through in-depth interviews with Kale Group Sustainability Manager, it was tried to determine how they evaluate the concept of sustainability in the context of marketing. In the in-depth interview, statements developed by Baldassarre and Campo (2016) were used to determine the commitment of firms to their sustainable initiatives and their use of these initiatives as a marketing tool. These questions were used in data collection to determine the degree of corporate sustainability to define four different dynamic states of sustainable enterprise. As a result of the study, it was determined that the company had a high commitment to sustainable initiatives with the "Kale İyi Bak Dünyana" project and that these initiatives were communicated to stakeholders, and it was evaluated that the company was in the "transparent" category.

Özet

Sürdürülebilirlik, işletmelerin paydaşları ile olan ilişkilerinin daha sağlam ve uzun vadeli olması açısından özellikle günümüzde önem kazanana bir kavram olmuştur. Günümüz tüketicilerinin sürdürülebilirlik konusunda daha duyarlı hale gelmiş olması ve sürdürülebilir ürün ve hizmetlerin, bu duyarlılığa cevap vererek işletmelerin tüketiciler tarafından tercih edilmesini sağlamaktadır. Özellikle yapı ürünleri endüstrisinde sürdürülebilirlik, inşaat sürecinden kullanım ömrü boyunca bakım ve yeniden kullanımına kadar çeşitli alanlarda ele alınabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı sürdürülebilirlik kavramının yapı ürünleri sektöründe faaliyet gösteren firma özelinde, pazarlama bağlamında nasıl ele alındığını araştırmaktadır. Çalışmada bir pazarlama iletişimi aracı olarak “Kale İyi Bak Dünyana” projesi, bir vaka örneği olarak incelenmektedir. Kale Grubu Sürdürülebilirlik Müdürü ile derinlemesine görüşme tekniği ile veri toplanarak, işletmede sürdürülebilirlik kavramını pazarlama bağlamında nasıl değerlendirdikleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen derinlemesine görüşmede, Baldassarre ve Campo (2016) tarafından geliştirilen ve firmaların sürdürülebilir girişimlerine bağlılık ve bu girişimleri bir pazarlama aracı olarak kullanma durumlarının tespit edilmesine olanak tanıyan ifadelere yer verilmiştir. Sürdürülebilir girişimin dört farklı dinamik durumunu tanımlamak üzere kurumsal sürdürülebilirlik derecelerinin belirlenmesine olanak sağlayan söz konusu sorular veri toplamada kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda “Kale İyi Bak Dünyana” projesi ile firmanın sürdürülebilir girişimlere yüksek bağlılığının olduğu ve bu girişimlerin paydaşlara iletildiği tespit edilerek, firmanın “saydam” kategoride yer aldığı değerlendirilmiştir.
