Abstract
gerektirmektedir. Bu gereksinimi sürdürülebilir kılacak en önemli etkenlerden biri de paydaş ilişkileri
ya da iletişimsel anlamda hedef kitle iletişimidir. Son yıllarda ise kurumların sosyal sorumluluk anlayışı
gereği yürüttükleri iletişim stratejileri, değişen toplumsal yapı, kaynakların sınırlılığı, çevresel problemler,
toplumsal eşitsizlik gibi konuların daha sık tartışılmasıyla birlikte birçok kurumu yalnızca bir alan seçip
bu alanda toplumu bilinçlendirme, herhangi bir toplumsal konuya dikkate çekme, farkındalık yaratma
odağında tasarlanan kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk anlayışının ötesinde kurumların kendi iş süreçlerinden
başlayarak yeniden yapılanmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda sürdürülebilirlik anlayışı da birbirine
entegre bir yapıyı iletişim sürecine aktararak bütünselliği sağlamakta ve kurumları geleceğe taşımaya
çalışmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki bankacılık sektörünün Sürdürülebilirlik raporlarında yer alan “Sürdürülebilirlik
İlkelerini” hedef kitle iletişiminde nasıl kullandığının incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir
halkla ilişkiler anlayışında paydaş katılımı ve desteği açısından sosyal medya kullanımı giderek önem
kazanmaktadır. Hootsuite ve We Are Social 2021 Dijital Türkiye Raporuna göre 2021 yılında Türkiye’de
en çok kullanılan sosyal medya platformu YouTube olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Buradan hareketle
çalışmada Küresel Raporlama Girişimi (Global Reporting Initiative-GRI) İlkeleri’ne göre sürdürülebilirlik
raporunu yayınlayan ilk Türk mevduat bankası olan Akbank’ın 2021 yılı YouTube içerikleri, dokümantasyon
tarama yöntemiyle incelenerek bir vaka çalışması yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda bankanın YouTube içeriklerinde sürdürülebilirlik raporlarında yer alan ilkelere yönelik projelere yer verdiği görülmekle
birlikte, hesabın yorumlara kapalı olması paydaş katılımını sınırlayıcı bir unsur olarak yorumlanmıştır
Social, economic and environmental management understanding of institutions necessitates the need to carry existing values to the future. One of the most important factors that will make this need sustainable is stakeholder relations or target audience communication in a communicative sense. In recent years, with the more frequent discussion of issues such as communication strategies, changing social structure, limited resources, environmental problems, social inequality, which institutions carry out due to their social responsibility understanding, many institutions choose only one area and raise awareness of the society in this area, draw attention to any social issue, raise awareness. Beyond the concept of corporate social responsibility designed with a focus on it, it necessitates the restructuring of institutions starting from their own business processes. In this context, the understanding of sustainability ensures integrity by transferring an integrated structure to the communication process and tries to carry the institutions to the future. In this study, it is aimed to examine how the banking sector in Turkey uses the “Sustainability Principles” included in the Sustainability reports in the target audience communication. The use of social media is becoming increasingly important in terms of stakeholder participation and support in the understanding of sustainable public relations. According to Hootsuite ve We Are Social 2021 Dijital Turkey reports, YouTube is the most used social media platform in Turkey in 2021. From this point of view, in this study, a case study will be made by examining the 2021 YouTube contents of Akbank, which is the first Turkish deposit bank to publish its sustainability report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Principles. As a result of the research, it was seen that the bank included projects on the principles included in the sustainability reports in their YouTube content, but the fact that the account was closed to comments was interpreted as a limiting factor for target audence participation.
