Sustainability

We believe in the future – and that means caring for the environment in any way we can. We have taken various measures to limit our carbon footprint as much as possible. At our offices, for example, we have a large number of solar panels installed, we use geothermal energy to heat and cool our offices and workshop and we are heading for paperless work. Although we try to limit the number of flights we take as much as possible, we have to admit that our footprint from air travel is still big. Therefore, we have joined a bio-fuel project to compensate our air miles.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility is a subject that we care about a lot. Every year, we donate part of our profits to charity. To this end, our CSR committee uses the criteria in the allocation of funds.

A project should:

• involve young people.
• have a start and an end.
• be open to more involvement. We want to feel committed.
• provide a better future.
• the receiving partner has to join in and put effort into the project too.

Examples of projects we have worked on include building a school in Gambia, and repair and maintenance work on the hospital ship Africa Mercy.
