Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

Sustainable business pays off! It saves costs, promotes innovation, contributes to a good reputation, and the world benefits as well.

CSR pays off in many ways:

  • Measures, such as energy conservation, pay for themselves and reduce operating costs.
  • A pleasant work environment and motivated employees lead to higher productivity and less employee turnover.
  • As an employer, you are more attractive to join.
  • Healthy employees reduce absenteeism.
  • Participation and employees lead to good ideas to improve operations, products and services.
  • In the longer term, you will benefit financially from your company's improved efficiency and reputation.
  • CSR leads to innovation and this strengthens competitiveness.
  • It makes the world a better place and you contribute to a good future for your (grand)children.
  • CSR makes you feel good and enjoy your work more.

With CSR, you are working toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
