Our supply chain
Our Corporate Responsibility standards are continuously being translated to our supply chain to ensure subcontractor Health & Safety and supplier awareness.
Subcontractor health & safety
Safety is the first priority at our construction sites. We have implemented a tight process of pre-work health and risk assessments and approval of the safety measures by our project managers and Health & Safety officers before any actual site work is started.
Our site supervisors are expected and empowered to continuously monitor and ensure a safe working environment and to take action where appropriate.
Supplier awareness
We involve our suppliers in the realisation of our targets. We invite and encourage our suppliers to take the lead in finding new ways to reduce any negative impact on the environment, as well as reducing costs.
Examples:
- Lean and Green Project reduce CO2 emissions by 20% in the supply chain in 2012
- High Efficiency and beyond… Superseding new European Directives Vanderlande introduced Super Premium Efficiency drives
- A more energy-efficient factory Some major investments in the Veghel factory focused on energy and waste reduction while improving working conditions
