We have sustainability at heart.
Here at Wilco, corporate social responsibility is at the company’s heart
It’s in the way we treat each other and you as a customer. It’s in how we stand in society. And in how we treat the environment. It’s now and it’s the future, because we continue to follow the latest developments.
Pioneers for a cleaner environment
We have always been environmental pioneers. Back in 2001 we invested in an energy system that reuses our heat throughout the company. And since 1 July 2011, we can claim that our entire production process is CO2-neutral. We do this by truly compensating for all emissions: not only the emissions released during the production process, but also our employees commute and the delivery to your address.
Dealing with paper responsibly
Vanzelfsprekend gaan we verantwoord om met de oergrondstof van ons bedrijf: hout. Dat heeft geleid tot certificering door het FSC® en PEFC. Ons gecertificeerde papier is daarom vervaardigd met verantwoord geoogste houtvezel. De internationale milieunorm ISO 14001 is binnen Wilco al jaren de standaard: we werken bovendien elk jaar hard aan de verbeteringen die nodig zijn om dit certificaat te behouden.
Consideration for people and society
Sustainable entrepreneurship is about more than the environment. It also means taking people and society into consideration. This includes, that doing everything we can to ensure a pleasant working climate for our employees. Hence, we closely follow health and safety guidelines.
