During the Connecting Event Sustainability that took place on Thursday, November 14 2024 in Geertruidenberg, we received the Groene Pluim from Alderman Tommie Mertens. For us this is an enormous recognition for our way of working in a sustainable, circular and socially responsible way. In his speech, the alderman emphasized how we focus on the transition from making our business operations sustainable to a pleasant working environment. This not only has to do with how we have invested to save on energy consumption, but also how we choose production materials and tools. In doing so, we aim for the least possible waste and a long service life.
Sustainability and employees
Within our family business, sustainability also has everything to do with our employees. We offer our people a pleasant working environment, where each other is also listened to and where the owners are simply part of the team. It is not for nothing that several employees have been working here for decades. By the way, many of them are women, because their fine motor skills are very useful in our activities.
Sustainability as a matter of course
When Corina van Aperloo was handed the microphone, she said the following about their recognition by the Groene Pluim: “We don't feel special. For us, what we do is very natural, because we think being sustainable is just very important.”
