Environment – examples of our CSR actions

  • For our vehicle fleet, we adhere to the highest achievable emission standards. All our trucks are equipped with at least Euro5, but also Euro6 engines. When purchasing new equipment, we value low CO2 emissions, low fuel consumption, and optimal safety for our drivers and other road users. All our transport equipment is maintained in-house to guarantee delivery reliability. Additionally, we clean our vehicles in our own washing facility using mostly recycled water.
  • We plan very efficiently, optimizing the amount of kilometers driven in relation to the loading capacity.
  • In our warehouse, we opt for electric vehicles.
  • In the office, we reduce the consumption of materials such as paper, ink, and envelopes as much as possible by working with digital information provision.
  • We process waste streams under very strict conditions, separating plastic, cardboard, and paper for disposal. We work with a waste processor who guarantees environmentally friendly and responsible processing.
  • At the Harselaarseweg, we generate our own energy. 5,300 solar panels on the roof provide green energy.

Employees

  • We consider good working conditions and benefits, as well as regular (re)training for our employees, to be of utmost importance.
  • Whenever possible, we assess whether a job opening is suitable or can be made suitable for an employee with a disability.
