Collective well-being

As a part of society, Vandersanden wants to contribute to people’s happiness. Our economic growth and financial gain are not goals in themselves. Profit is merely a means of realising our goal of making an essential contribution to the well-being of employees, customers, society, and the environment. You will soon find our new Collective Well-being report here.

What is Vandersanden’s view on collective well-being?

Vandersanden aims to be a leader in collective well-being, and this is an integral part of our mission and vision of society.

Discover in this video how Vandersanden wants to contribute to the solutions for the social challenges that lie ahead.

At work

Feeling comfortable in your role, enjoying the work that you do, mutual trust, and camaraderie contribute greatly to the personal happiness of employees, so it is important for us to provide everyone with a stimulating workplace. Physically, that means a safe, healthy, and ergonomically responsible workplace. In terms of personal development, that means everyone having the chance to expand their own skills and strength to the max.

In the community

Vandersanden wants to work towards improving quality of life. Part of this is honest operational management, driven by our core values. Another part is through our involvement in society in the form of social initiatives. We support good causes and give employees the space to become community builders and to contribute to improving society.

For the environment

We make products that last. We do this to reduce the potential impact on the environment. But whatever we do, we can always do better. Vandersanden sets the bar high – in years to come, we aim to improve our annual environmental performance (Trust Index MVO and Environmental Cost Indicator), in conjunction with our chain partners, and work towards our ambition of a climate-neutral economy. Together to Zero is our promise to be CO2-free in our operations and production by 2050.

Our promise for the future

In the industry

Vandersanden is a proactive, reliable organiser for partners and projects that stimulate and initiate joint corporate social responsibility (CSR) . We strive to build sustainable relationships with customers, colleagues, and suppliers, as well as indirect stakeholders. We continuously seek constructive partnerships throughout the chain, from raw materials extraction through to maintenance of end products. After all, together we build greatness.
