Sustainability on board at The Veer ⚓
At Het Veer, we believe that sustainability is not a distant shore, but a course we are already steering today. As the proud crew of our holding company, we know that true sustainable business starts from shared responsibility – from wheelhouse to engine room.
We don’t just change course. Step by step, we consciously choose a greener course, with our Sailors as the driving force. Because those who sail together also make a difference together.
⛵ What our Sailors undertake themselves
Our crew members are taking the helm into their own hands. Sustainability really lives among our colleagues.
–Getting to work under their own steam
Many people consciously choose to ride their bikes or take public transportation. They brave wind and weather to keep their carbon footprint small.
– Reusable water bottles
No plastic bottles on deck! Our Sailors drink from their reusable bottles – good for the planet as well as the team spirit.
– All out? All out.
After working hours, devices are turned off. No unnecessary waste of energy on board.
Their example is like a lighthouse – it lights the path for others!
🧠 Consciousness as wind in the sails
Sustainability starts with awareness. That is why we regularly organize inspiring initiatives that make our Sailors think and act:
–Green Communications
From newsletters online or displayed on screens digitally.
-The Positive Wave Crew team 🌊
A group of committed colleagues share ideas, plan actions and keep the green wave rolling.
–Lunch & learn sessions
We dive into topics such as circular thinking, sustainable food and energy-efficient living – short but sweet, during the lunch break.
“When you understand why something matters, you naturally begin to act on it. Small waves make the ocean.”
🚀 Our sustainable horizon
Our journey does not stop at the next port. We remain ambitious and set course toward a sustainable future with clear goals:
– A carbon-neutral headquarters
– Circular procurement and increased reuse
– Green workplaces with plants & natural materials
We do not sail blindly. Every decision, every initiative, every choice counts. And the final destination? That lies in a cleaner future for all.
Together we make a difference
Working sustainably is not a battering ram. It’s small choices that add up to a big wave: a day’s vegetarian lunch, conscious printing habits, or just turning off that light switch when going home.
We are proud of the route we have already traveled together. And we look forward to sailing full steam ahead – for our colleagues, customers, and the world we are all a part of.
The Veer. Where sustainability begins on deck. And where every Sailor counts.
