In doing so, we strive to achieve a balance between People, Planet, and Profit. Corporate Social Responsibility is a natural part of our business operations and corporate culture.

We consider it our responsibility to adhere to the principles of this statement and to communicate them to our employees, guests, customers, and suppliers.

Wesseling BV and Corporate Social Responsibility

Wesseling BV makes ethical decisions in its business practices and treats its employees, customers, and the community with respect. In doing so, we respect and act in accordance with laws and regulations, as well as generally accepted standards and values.

The following points are important to Wesseling BV in the context of corporate social responsibility:

The quality of our services is a top priority within our organization. We continue to train our employees to ensure we can maintain our high standards over the long term, and we invest heavily in quality and efficiency for all parties involved.

In addition to generating profit, not only people and their development, but also society as a whole and the environment play a central role within our organization. A few practical examples are explained in more detail for each area;

Employee Well-Being:

One of our organization’s goals is the well-being of our employees. We promote our employees’ well-being by creating a healthy, positive, and safe work environment. Properly implemented occupational health and safety regulations are in the best interests of our organization, our employees, and our customers. A Risk Inventory and Evaluation (RI&E) has been prepared for Wesseling BV’s factory in Zwanenburg and reviewed by the Occupational Health and Safety Service.

Wesseling BV invests heavily in fostering a relaxed and positive work environment by encouraging an informal atmosphere and promoting communication that empowers employees to take personal responsibility while enjoying a great deal of freedom. In addition, an annual staff party is organized, and team-building outings are held regularly. Wesseling BV communicates openly and honestly about its policies, future plans, and any changes in direction.

Wesseling BV’s policy is to ensure that our employees remain healthy and fully productive over the long term. It is aimed at ensuring that our employees remain healthy, motivated, engaged, and therefore productive for as long as possible, both from the employees’ perspective and that of the organization. This goal is achieved through regular performance and evaluation meetings, during which potential training needs are identified. These discussions take into account the personal and professional development of employees as well as the interests and needs of the company. Participation in various forms of training is encouraged within the organization, and training programs are accessible to all employees. This regularly leads to internal career advancement, ensuring that knowledge and skills are utilized to the fullest and that our employees remain engaged and committed to our organization.

Environmentally Friendly Business Practices:

Another goal of our organization is to conduct business in an environmentally responsible manner. In carrying out our business activities, we will, to the best of our ability, implement the best technically and economically sound measures and provisions to minimize any adverse environmental impacts. Effectively managing and reducing our environmental impact is a key focus of our business operations. By implementing a credible environmental policy, we believe we can also strengthen our position as a professional service provider in the business events market from an economic standpoint. Our policy is to organize our activities in such a way that they give high priority to preventing and reducing pollution. We also set our own goals for relevant environmental measures, including the raw materials we use and third-party services, so that we can continue to improve our environmental performance.

Wesseling BV meets and complies with the requirements set forth in environmental laws and regulations. As an organization, we aim to minimize our environmental impact and strive for continuous improvement. We have identified potential environmental risks that are relevant to the organization. In addition to manufacturing high-quality products, Wesseling BV is also committed to acting in an environmentally responsible manner.

Our organization implements energy-saving measures, such as choosing green electricity whenever possible, installing insulation, and using energy-efficient materials, equipment, and lighting in the building. We raise awareness about unnecessary energy and water consumption, reduce paper use, promote waste separation, and reduce plastic waste by using coffee and tea mugs instead of plastic cups

Finally, all new suppliers are carefully selected. We set high standards for the products we purchase for our day-to-day operations, and we do the same for the products we sell.

Social Responsibility:

When it comes to corporate social responsibility, Wesseling BV places a central emphasis on its relationship with its (immediate) community, to which we aim to make an active contribution.
