Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

Sustainable business pays off! It saves costs, promotes innovation, contributes to a good reputation, and also makes the world a better place.

CSR pays off in many ways:

  • Measures, for example in the field of energy saving, pay for themselves and reduce operating costs.
  • A pleasant working environment and motivated employees lead to higher productivity and less staff turnover.
  • You are more attractive as an employer to come and work for.
  • Healthy employees ensure less absenteeism.
  • Public participation and employee involvement lead to good ideas for improving business operations, products and services.
  • In the longer term, you will benefit financially from the improved efficiency and reputation of your company.
  • CSR leads to innovation and this strengthens competitiveness.
  • The world will be a better place and you will contribute to a good future for your (grand)children.
  • CSR gives a good feeling and more pleasure in your work.

With CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), you contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
