CSR
Wondering what W3E is doing about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?
In a world where companies and organizations are increasingly being held accountable for their impact on society and the environment, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is no longer an option, but a necessity. We would like to tell you more about what CSR means and how W3E is doing CSR.
What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?
Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, is a business strategy in which companies take responsibility for the effects of their activities on people, the environment and society. This means that companies and organizations not only strive for profit, but also take into account their social and environmental footprint. CSR goes beyond legal obligations; it is a conscious decision to contribute to a sustainable world.
Our Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
SDG 4: Quality education
W3E is committed to providing training opportunities for its staff. We believe that continuous development is essential for both individuals and the organization. Therefore, we offer various training programs, such as vocational training and driver's license training In addition, we offer WEP workplaces (work experience placements) for people who are distanced from the labor market, providing a temporary workplace where they can gain experience, with the possibility of permanent employment within our company in the future. Through these initiatives we enable our employees to improve their skills and increase their career opportunities, contributing to personal and professional growth.SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth
At W3E, we are actively committed to the inclusion of people distant from the labor market. Through social return policies, we create employment opportunities for this group, contributing to economic growth and promoting decent work. We believe that everyone can make a valuable contribution and strive to provide an inclusive work environment where everyone has equal opportunities.SDG 10: Reduce inequality
At W3E, everyone is welcome to start work, regardless of their education level or background. We deliberately hire people who are low or unskilled and offer them the opportunity to grow within our organization. Specifically, we also focus on hiring people from immigrant backgrounds, thereby reducing social inequality and promoting diversity in the workplace. Our inclusive work culture ensures that everyone feels valued and respected.SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production.
We strive to minimize the use of new raw materials by using refurbished equipment, among other things, and are committed to processing what we can no longer use into reusable raw materials as best we can. At W3E, we strongly believe in minimizing waste and maximizing the lifespan of products. By promoting environmentally friendly recycling processes and active reuse, we not only reduce our impact on the planet, but also contribute to the development of a more sustainable society. Our circular IT solutions are therefore fully focused on this. In doing so, we contribute to a sustainable future and a circular economy.SDG 13: Climate action
W3E is undertaking several initiatives to combat climate change. As part of responsible consumption and production, W3E will move to a new, carbon-neutral location in early 2025. This initiative is an important step in our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and combat global warming. Among other things, the new building will be completely gas-free and equipped with underfloor heating and LED lighting with motion sensors. There will also be parking spaces with electric charging stations. We are constantly looking for innovative ways to reduce our impact on the environment and encourage our employees to embrace sustainability initiatives.SDG 17: Partnership to achieve goals
To achieve our sustainability goals, collaboration is critical. Within the WEEELABEX-chain, W3E works closely with various partners to achieve common goals. Through this chain collaboration, we combine our efforts and share knowledge and resources to develop sustainable solutions to today's challenges. Together with our relationships, we build a sustainable future by partnering with suppliers who reduce their carbon footprint and offer environmentally friendly products and services. This partnership offers a promising outlook for the future.
CSR: embedded in our business operations
W3E is actively committed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by implementing a range of sustainable and social initiatives. Daylight is used in the office, which contributes to a more natural working environment and reduces energy consumption. When additional lighting is needed, LED lighting is used, which is energy efficient and has a long lifespan. In addition, our office lighting is equipped with motion sensors to prevent unnecessary energy consumption.
Our fleet consists entirely of electric cars, thus contributing to reducing CO2 emissions and improving air quality. We also use refurbished ICT equipment, which extends the life of electronic devices and reduces electronic waste. Waste is carefully separated to encourage recycling and reuse.
To minimize paper consumption, quotes and invoices are sent digitally. The use of automated systems also significantly reduces printing, which contributes to our paper-saving efforts. Furthermore, we offer our employees the opportunity to work from home, which not only contributes to a better work-life balance, but also reduces the number of commutes and thus reduces the carbon footprint.
At W3E, we value the development of our employees by offering education and training opportunities. This ensures that our team can continuously grow and adapt to the changing market. In addition, we are committed to social return by employing people with a distance to the labor market, giving them the opportunity to gain valuable work experience and strengthen their position in the labor market.
Through these various initiatives, W3E demonstrates that sustainability and social responsibility are deeply embedded in our operations.
