Social Responsibility at EuroSortBuilding a better future together
Social Responsibility
At EuroSort, we believe that sustainability is not just an option – it is a responsibility. As a leading OEM of automated sortation solutions, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact while maximizing efficiency and innovation for our customers. But it is not only about the environment, it is so much more. We look at all of our stakeholders when we talk about social responsibility and of course our employees are an important part of this as well. Here’s how we contribute to the well-beign of our communities, our employees and work on a better future together:
Our sustainability commitments:
Our sustainability initiatives go beyond just speaking about it. It is embedded in our strategy, our product design, our production facilities and our philisophy. Here are just a few of the initiatives we have:
- Energy-efficient solutions: our automated sortation solutions are designed to consume less energy without compromising performance. Our Flex Drive system make a huge difference. For example you can run our pre-configured series with 50 solar panels already!
- Reducing waste: we strive to minimize waste at every stage of our operations. Our sorters are made of recyclable aluminium no-weld frameworks for example. We also adopt lean manufacturing principles and have robust recycling programs in our facilities. Our modular sorters are easily refurbished, extending their product life cycles, reducing the need for replacements.
- Carbon footprint reduction: We are also dedicated to lowering our carbon emissions. From optimizing transportation logistics, to reducing energy use in our offices and production sites, every effort contributes to a smaller footprint. Our newest extension to our HQ in ‘s-Graveland is fully electrically heated with the power of our own solar panels, and preparations are made for energy storage through batteries.
- And so much more! Read more about it in our TIM report on which you can read more below.
Social Responsibility
As mentioned Sustainability extends beyond environmental impact and therefore Social Reponsibility is an integral part of our mission to create a better future. Here are some of the key contributions we make:
- Employee well-being: We prioritise the health, safety, and professional growth of our employees by fostering an inclusive workplace, offering ongoing training and ensuring safe working conditions. Whether you work in the office, from home or on site, this is our commitment to our employees.
- Community engagement: We support local communities through charitable initiatives, educational partnerships and sponsorships of local sports clubs. We partner with high schools for internships and lectures, but also invite groups of interested people to visit our premises for an afternoon of information and learning for example.
- Ethical practices: Integrity is at the heart of our operations. We adhere to ethical business practices, promote fair labour conditions, and work to eliminate inequality in all forms. Our suppliers can be held to our supplier code of conduct for example where all of these practices are meticulously described.
- Supporting diversity: We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
Recognition
Just talking about doing something will not change anything and that is why we take action. At the end of 2024 we were also recognized by the Dutch ‘Stichting MVO-Register‘ (CSR Register Foundation) with a prestigious 3 star rating on our first official measurement on Transparency, Impact and Management of Corporate Social Responsibility. This TIM-rating is a confirmation that we are taking the right actions, and a gives us great guidance on how to improve in the future. We are looking forward to achieving the next level on this measurement in 2025!
Building a better future together:
And there is so much more! We can’t do this all by ourselves and therefore we work with partners and of course you! Only together we can have an impact and therefore we are looking forward to continuing this journey with all of you.
