Van der Windt signs partnership agreement with Climate Neutral Group
Following its 'Corporate Social Responsibility and Involvement' memorandum, published in January 2010, Van der Windt Verpakking has further substantiated its CSR policy by signing a partnership agreement with Climate Neutral Group. This multi-year agreement, which was signed on 17 May 2010, relates to compensation for all the harmful greenhouse gasses generated by Van der Windt Verpakking as an autonomous organisation. This covers activities such as gas and paper usage in the office environment, the vehicle fleet, travel to and from work and air travel. Opting to use green electricity had already neutralised Van der Windt’s electricity consumption. The co-operation between Climate Neutral Group and Van der Windt will also focus on making Van der Windt’s organisation and market propositions more sustainable, primarily through awareness and energy-saving programmes and the offering of sustainable, climate-neutral packaging solutions. This step is a logical supplement to the extensive range of bio-based packaging, in which Van der Windt occupies a top-3 position, and fits in well with Van der Windt’s ambition to rank among the leaders in the field of sustainable packaging solutions. Climate Neutral Group is the Benelux market leader in the field of solutions related to CO2 reduction and climate neutrality.
