Corporate Sustainability

The VCDO provides a framework for companies to translate sustainable ambitions into practice, and to encourage companies to challenge themselves to go a step further in sustainability. The sustainability actions are linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations. Embedding the 17 sustainability goals of the United Nations in the VCDO has increased the significance of this recognition even further. After a positive final evaluation (after one year) by an independent committee, the efforts are rewarded with the sustainability certificate.

Sustainability is more important than ever to Vosschemie Benelux | V-sure. How we put sustainability into practice, we will tell you as we go along on this page.

What did we accomplish in 2023?

This sustainability report provides an overview of Vosschemie Benelux | V-Sure's sustainability achievements and efforts during the 2022-2023 operating year. As a motivated sustainability expert, we have strived to integrate sustainable practices into all aspects of our operations to create a positive impact on society and the environment.

The report illustrates our ongoing commitment to sustainability and provides a basis for further dialogue and collaboration with the community. We continue to build partnerships and build strong collaborations with suppliers, customers, staff and stakeholders to jointly contribute to a more sustainable future for all and also support other relevant sustainability initiatives. The ethical principles and values provide a solid foundation and reflect the business objectives and commitment to positively impact society and the environment.

We strive for a leading position in the supply of innovative, sustainable technical solutions with liquid cold-cured plastics within the various sectors in industry and the private market.

Therefore, we are committed to developing a sustainable product range. In the longer term, we want to explore opportunities for circular processes to minimize the impact on consumption and production.

Additional budget went into research and development of alternative materials and production methods that reduce environmental impact.

Our long-term and short-term goals provide a framework to focus on sustainability initiatives that benefit both the core business and broader society. It is important to regularly review and adapt these objectives to changing circumstances and regulations and insights.

Sustainability action: Clean up Day on November 19, 2023

A total of 88 enthusiastic ploggers, including parents, young people, entrepreneurs and local politicians such as Mayor Rik Verwaest and alderman for the economy Ilse Lambrechts, participated in the Clean up Day in Lier.

This litter campaign by Vosschemie Benelux was set up in collaboration with Sint-Gummaruscollege Lier and Lier4Business as part of 'sustainable entrepreneurship' to raise awareness of the issues surrounding single-use plastics.

With the WePlog app, the impact of all efforts could be accurately measured. In 2 hours, 45.5 garbage bags, or 437 liters of waste (almost half a m³!), were collected over a length of 124.42 km. That amounts to about 3.5 liters of litter per km!

In April 2024, we will join Sint-Gummarus College Lier for a second round of cleanup. This is how we are building a cleaner future together!
