Profit and sustainability can go together. It is possible to find a way to produce without damaging the environment. More and more companies start to realize that the environment is a very important stakeholder nowadays. They are willing to adapt their production process to reduce the environmental damage. We see the corporate social responsibility in the mission of big companies such as Volvo and Carrefour. Next to the financial performance, the companies take also the ecological and social performance into account.
Vanheede is an example of a company with respect for the environment. It is a company specialized in collecting and processing waste. When we look at their mission, we can see that the environment is very important for them. Environmental protection, safety and corporate governance are keywords for this company. They want to be a valuable partner who guarantees a durable, integrated and efficient waste management for a reasonable price.
The environment is not the only important stakeholder for Vanheede. They also respect their employees and their neighbours. However they want to make profit, every stakeholder is important for them. This is a very noble view and I think if every company would act like Vanheede, the world would be a better place.
