Societal Impact
We care about improving lives.
Making a meaningful impact on society
DLL strives to positively impact the communities in which we operate. Along with financial contributions to community initiatives, we support Micro Leasing programs and volunteering efforts around the world.

Partner in Micro Leasing
In emerging economies, such as Rwanda and Kenya, DLL helps to develop and improve access to local financial infrastructures for low-income entrepreneurs. We do it through our Micro Leasing Advisory Services.
Our goal is to support these Micro Finance Institutions in developing an alternative micro finance product that increases the financial inclusion of low-income entrepreneurs to support their business success. Here’s a snapshot of our work:
- Partnering with the Rabo Foundation to provide expertise and training on asset-based financing and leasing at local Micro Finance Institutions
- Advising Micro Finance Institutions in the efficiency and quality of their credit assessments
- Swapping of assets during the lease life
- Raising funds for Micro Leasing through our DLL Micro Leasing Fund, supported by our employees (in cooperation with Rabobank Client Fund, part of the Rabo Foundation).

Charitable donations and volunteering
We encourage our employees to invest their time and expertise to support causes and nonprofit organizations that need their support. Our employees are given two paid days off each year to support our volunteer efforts and impact.
As a company, we focus on social issues in the industries we work in and in all the local communities in which we operate, including:
- Environmental protection and food supply
- Economic vitality and entrepreneurship
- Swapping of assets during the lease life
- Youth empowerment and financial literacy
- Healthcare quality
