Interview with John Arts, Logistic & Facilities Project Manager & Judith Dijkstra, Marketing & Communications Manager
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do.
Sustainability is one of the five core values at Royal Reesink. About seven years ago, the company starts seriously considering reducing their CO2 footprint and defining clear sustainability targets. As a result, nowadays, more than one gigawatt of solar power is generated directly from the company’s locations. Due to their high dedication and the continuous collaboration with SolarAccess, seven rooftops are covered with highly efficient solar installations. And, Reesink is taking sustainable steps in many other areas.
Focus on sustainability.
Judith Dijkstra, Marketing & Communications Manager: “An internal survey amongst all Reesink’ employees revealed that sustainability is one of our five core values. As a company we have a responsibility to contributing to a better world, a cleaner environment. Corporate sustainability is important to us.” Fortunately, Judith says, attention for this subject is increasing across the industry. Customers, government tenders, it’s everywhere. “And at Royal Reesink we are moving forward at high speed, thanks to John Arts and all our colleagues in the Royal Reesink companies.”
As Project Manager Logistics & Facilities, John Arts supports and advises all Royal Reesink companies. John: “About seven years ago we started coordinating the purchase of energy and CO2reduction from our holding company. Mobility is another focus point; our vehicle fleet accounts for a large proportion of our CO2emissions. Our CEO Gerrit van der Scheer emphasizes: ‘Quality of life is important for us, today, but we have to save the planet for future generations as well.’ What are the results of our choices for our planet? That’s the question I ask myself very often.”
