Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Holland Staal values ethical and responsible behavior. We expect the same from our (temporary) employees, suppliers, and clients. To act uniformly, Holland Staal has established a social policy that every (temporary) employee is bound to. To be able to carry out our policy outside our organization, we adhere to the following pillars.

Transparency

We value honest business practices without corruption, bribery, or kickbacks. Bribery involves inducing someone with gifts, services, relationship management, or promises to do or refrain from doing something, with the desired result of gaining unfair business advantages, whether intended or unintended. We expect the same from our suppliers and clients.

Openness

Holland Staal aims to prevent employees from being underpaid or treated unfairly in any other way. We follow the Metalektro Collective Labour Agreement (CAO). The remuneration structure of the Metalektro CAO also applies to temporary workers, and additionally, we ensure the treatment of temporary staff aligns with the Law to Address Sham Arrangements (WAS). This means all our temporary employees receive at least the legal minimum wage via bank transfer, accompanied by a clear and understandable payslip. We only use specified, reputable (SNA Declaration) temp agencies and always check their practices beforehand.

Equality

Holland Staal prohibits discrimination in any form. We respect human rights and are unconditionally committed to ethical conduct in our activities to prevent slavery and human trafficking, including forced labor and child labor. This applies not only to our actions but also to those of our suppliers and clients. Suppliers must demonstrate that they provide safe working conditions, treat employees with dignity and respect, and act ethically and within the law in the use of labor.

Sustainability

At Holland Staal, we are continually working on a sustainable procurement policy. When purchasing products, we consider their impact on the environment and humanity. By considering climate neutrality, circularity, and fair chains in our activities and processes, we enhance the sustainable character of our organization, thereby securing our future sustainability.

A summary of our values and pillars is recorded in our policy statement, acknowledged, and signed by the management of Holland Staal.
