Corporate Social Responsibility

As a family-owned company, VDL Groep has always been strongly involved in its living and working environment, since it is the people and the environment that a company depends on for its continued existence. That is why VDL Groep finds it self-evident that a company should contribute to the sustainable development of our society. We do this by striving to find a good balance between People, Planet and Profit. 

For VDL Steelweld, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral element of its corporate policy. This means that CSR issues are taken into consideration when deciding about organisational, process and technical matters.

In our view on Corporate Social Responsibility, we focus on the following sub-areas:

Employees

VDL Steelweld is part of a family-owned business that is centred around its people. Our employees are the heart and soul of our company. For VDL, it is important to offer its employees a workplace where they can work in a healthy and safe environment and where they can further develop themselves.

The Society

VDL Steelweld wants to contribute to employment in the local areas where it is active. As a company, VDL Steelweld plays an active role in its local and wider society. We demonstrate our social commitment in various ways, such as by working together closely with schools and other educational institutions, and by sponsoring local sports clubs.
