Our Commitment to Sustainability

VMI has made sustainability a key component of its activities. Sustainability is an integral part of VMI’s corporate strategy. It provides a strong, long-term basis for doing good business with our customers and making a commitment to our people and the planet. It is the ambition of VMI group to contribute to building a sustainable society. We not only pay attention to the environment and climate, but also focus on the social side of business.

Continuous attention for development and growth

At VMI, we do business in a socially responsible way with great attention to the environment. We continually strive to expand our contribution to a sustainable society. We always take into account as much as possible the consequences for people involved in or around our organization as well as the impact of our choices on the environment and our surroundings.

Environment

Responsibility and sustainability impact

In this core area, VMI takes actions that make a positive contribution to combating climate change, preventing resource depletion and managing to reduce the impact on ecosystems by our products or their transportation. We do this based on our innovative strength and in close cooperation with both our customers and our suppliers to achieve the most sustainable value chain possible. Our targets are net zero CO2 emissions (scope 1 & 2) by 2030, waste recycling >80% and an annual energy reduction of 5%. We report this annually in our annual Global Sustainability Report.

Social

Attention for people and human rights

VMI pays continuous attention to development and growth of its employees. We motivate and help our employees grow, so that they can perform their work efficiently and with enthusiasm. We offer them a healthy working environment, where safety comes first. In addition to the direct visible safety and health measures, we also try to actively support our employees in their vitality. An important point of attention within VMI is to improve the gender balance in our organization. Like our parent organization TKH, we aim to have women in 25% of senior positions by 2030.

VMI is committed to upholding the highest standards of human rights in all of our operations and business activities. We recognize that as a global company, we have a responsibility to respect and protect the rights of all individuals impacted by our business, including our employees, suppliers, and community members.
