Corporate Social Responsibility
Sustainable entrepreneurship within Alewijnse.
The essence of the Alewijnse CSR policy is that every employee and supplier should carefully consider the impact that they will have on people, the planet and profit when making decisions.
As part of this policy, we strive for sustainable entrepeneurship where we focus on several key topics:
- Maintaining our financial and profitable position;
- Guaranteeing optimum working conditions for our employees;
- Implementing energy efficient solutions for our customers;
- Reducing our CO2 -Emissions.
People
At Alewijnse we strive to optimise working conditions for all our employees. By doing so, we aim to guarantee their safety, health and welfare as much as possible. We are guided by our awareness of our social responsibilities, the pursuit of high-quality workplaces, and the applicable legal requirements and wishes of our customers.
We also aim to be an employer of choice which fosters the right conditions for our people to connect with each other and to develop both professionally as well as personally. Our goal is to create a working environment in which our employees feel free to learn and feel part of a dedicated team.
Planet
Efficient energy consumption increasingly determines policy plans within companies. Energy is our business and that's why we strive to understand how our customers can best achieve their energy goals. Alewijnse works closely with its clients to implement solutions that will lead to long-term reductions in their energy consumption and thus lower CO₂ emissions.
The projects that Alewijnse works on are often complex and so require innovative solutions. In addition to our knowledge and expertise in optimising processes, Alewijnse offers a wide range of options that will result in reductions in energy consumption for the industrial and maritime market segments in which it operates. These opportunities not only reduce CO₂2 emissions, but can also be very cost-efficient.
Alewijnse also sets itself goals in order to reduce its own CO2 emissions. In order to achieve these objectives we emphasise factors including: the use of clean and fuel-efficient cars, carpooling, videoconferencing and the procurement of green and sustainable energy.
Profit
In order to live up to our CSR ambitions, both now and in the future, we need to maintain our healthy financial and profitable position. This means that we strive to create value for our customers by providing tailored technological solutions and continuously adapting to our environment, so as to stay relevant and maintain our position as a market leader in the field of system integration.
Alewijnse Socially Engaged
Over the past decade Alewijnse has become increasingly involved in a range of social projects. We believe in the importance of education and the role it has in shaping a healthy society. This belief has been substantiated by the continuous support given by the company to the university and local high schools, by way of targeted training, the donation of equipment and school supplies, and student scholarships.
Sustainable procurement
For materials not prescribed in the customers’ specifications, we use suppliers who produce products in a sustainable manner. Securing sustainable procurement requires that the sustainability aspects of the project are considered at an early stage within the purchasing organisation. When selecting possible subcontractors during the calculation phase, the sustainability of the suppliers has already been considered. After the contract has been awarded and before the formal start of the procurement process, consultation takes place between the project leader and the purchaser about the final selection of subcontractors for the project.
Our approach to workplace safety
At Alewijnse, safety is more than a requirement, it is a shared responsibility and an essential part of how we work. As part of our PACT safety programme, we have introduced the PACT Ambassadors initiative to help strengthen our safety culture across the organisation.
PACT Ambassadors are employees who act as safety role models and advocates within their teams. They help connect safety policies and objectives with everyday practice, ensuring that safety remains visible, relevant, and embedded in daily operations.
By leading through example, PACT Ambassadors encourage colleagues to take ownership of safety, promote open communication, and contribute to a workplace where everyone feels responsible for their own safety and that of others.
Their role includes:
- Promoting safe working practices and positive safety behaviours
- Supporting colleagues with safety-related questions and challenges
- Encouraging the reporting of hazards, risks, and near misses
- Participating in safety campaigns, toolbox talks, and awareness activities
- Helping to foster a proactive “Stop & Think” mindset throughout the organisation
PACT Ambassadors play an important role in creating a strong and sustainable safety culture. By maintaining close contact with both frontline teams and management, they help ensure that safety remains practical, visible, and relevant to everyday work.
The initiative reflects a simple but powerful belief: safety starts with people. Through collaboration, communication, and personal responsibility, PACT Ambassadors help make safety an integral part of our daily activities and decision-making.
Together, we continue to build a workplace where everyone can work safely, return home safely, and contribute to a healthier and more sustainable future.
