Social and environmental responsibility, at Nauta, we also think that it’s important to contribute to a sustainable world. Our policy focuses on four priorities.
Our products
In the production and packaging of items, we look for opportunities to protect the environment. When developing new products, we look for sustainability: durability and as maintenance-free as possible. The impact on the environment because of service and premature replacement are therefore kept to a minimum. There is also provision within our development budget for research into the recyclability of materials in the production process.
We only do business with suppliers and partners who have the same attitude as we do and who respect our standards for ethical, professional and responsible business. We check that our suppliers observe employment and environmental guidelines in accordance with international standards. Our service providers have to satisfy all applicable legislation and regulations and are informed of our code of conduct. We expect our partners to endorse this code and to organise their business processes so that we can maintain our policy.
Our management
We make use of solar panels to heat and cool our company, we encourage the purchase of electric vehicles and we are endeavouring to reduce our use of paper. When renovating our premises in Barneveld, we consciously chose for the reuse of existing materials.
Our people
Through training, we contribute to the development and employability of our employees. We also create awareness about a healthy lifestyle with our annual theme week ‘Blij(f) Fit’. During this week we organize all kinds of healthy and sporting activities for employees and customers. By sponsoring sporting events, we want to show that we consider sports in general important. With our personnel and hiring policy we also try to stimulate the employment of all target groups.
Our environment
Our annual support of national and local good causes is a logical element of our corporate social responsibility.
Where possible, we offer diverse educational institutions the opportunity to make use of our expertise and experience in training students. We are a recognised company for work placements for senior secondary education and training.
