“Inteliam brings value to our industry by establishing the standard and driving for improvement”

Zbeda Group undertook the Inteliam business and sustainability assessment. Eyal Zbeda, Chairman of the Board, accepted to share his vision of the solution and the partnership.

What initial observation motivated you in this evaluation process?

The motivation is the result of a few strong beliefs. First, we definitely consider that we have to learn on ESG and to better understand the requirements of operational excellence. Our objective? To better structure our internal management systems. And secondly, we are convinced that Zbeda has to contribute to the set-up of an IAM sector-specific standard. It's an important issue and we want to play an active role in it.

What does the evaluation actually consist of?

It consists of an overall view of our company on four major pillars: sustainability, business expertise, corporate processes and financial elements. The results give us an industry benchmark and help us to build a concrete improvement action plan.

How did you implement it?

From the very beginning, we decided to nominate an ESG leader in the company — Liat Shuat Rotenberg. For us, having someone in charge of the whole process is part of the success of the global approach. Liat coordinated the assessment as well as our internal implementation. In the end, it took us some time to coordinate internally and gather all the elements, but it was worth it.

What are the results and the next steps?

Thanks to the evaluation, we now have a clear idea of our current performance. But more than that, we have a precise vision of what we have to undertake in order to improve it. We are already implementing the suggested actions and we are also planning to work on carbon emission reporting.

Your vision of the partnership?

Inteliam brings value to our industry by establishing the standard and driving for improvement.
