Sustainability
Its time to accelerate transition to the future
Talking about sustainability is easy. Taking action is difficult. We at Van Ameyde want to actually make a difference.
Our goal: To create value while taking responsibility for our social and ecological impact
Today, sustainability is integrated into all Van Ameyde’s processes. Our sustainability policy is designed around four core pillars based on which we set our targets and measure our improvements in the area of environment, social conditions and corporate governance
Pillar 1
Reduce the environmental footprint of our global operations
Minimizing the negative impact on the natural environment through conscious consumption, and a climate-neutral business.
Pillar 2
Ensure social good and holistic development
Focusing on equal opportunities, inclusion, diversity in teams, and participation with social organizations.
Pillar 3
Responsible business and governance practices
Incorporating sustainability through equality, ethical business, and compliance with laws.
Pillar 4
Driving high standards for sustainable procurement
We set our focus on suppliers that uphold the values of ethics, human rights, and sustainability.

We have chosen to engage Ecovadis, a recognized auditor in the field of sustainability, to evaluate our policies, processes, and results within the four pillars.

What we see
Continuous improvement
We are proud of our results so far, but neither we nor the world community are yet on target. We continue to work on improving and futher developing our routines and measures while we focus on including our sustainability principles in core business.
Contributing to the global sustainability efforts together
