Sustainability in our own operations
Practising what we preach
Leading by example
Reducing our carbon footprint
Our long-term target is to reduce our own carbon footprint by 7% per FTE per year. To achieve this, we’ve identified the main sources of our carbon emissions – such as company car use and international travel – and we’ve come up with initiatives to address these, such as moving to an all-electric car fleet and promoting train travel for international business trips. So far, we’ve achieved a remarkable 63% reduction in our carbon footprint between 2011 and 2022. Want to find out more?
Sustainable procurement
Working with our suppliers is essential to achieving our sustainability ambitions. Not least, because we want to make sure they share our values and meet certain social and environmental standards. That’s why we’ve introduced our “five sustainable procurement principles”.
Community investment
We believe that wealth is more than money. In support of our purpose, we contribute to the arts, sports and the sustainable transitions we focus on. One of our partnerships is with StukjeNatuur, a foundation aiming to make the Netherlands more resilient to climate change by planting millions of trees.
Inclusion and diversity
We believe inclusion and diversity are crucial to driving innovation, fostering creativity and ensuring sustainable success. That’s why we actively promote equal opportunities, fair treatment and career development for all employees.
