Electric vehicles

More than half of express shipments in many Dutch cities are delivered in the 'last mile' by bicycle. We cycle wherever possible. For packages too large for bicycles, we use electric delivery vans or trucks.  

Our Buildings

From solar panels to greywater systems, our buildings also contribute to our environmental goals. New buildings meet the requirements of BREEAM, a globally applicable above-legal quality mark that assesses the sustainability of construction projects.

ISO Certifications

In Quality Management and Environmental and Energy Management, we meet the rigorous standards of ISO and hold the following certifications:

  • ISO 9001 Quality Management
  • ISO 14001 Environmental Management
  • ISO 45001 Health & Safety Management
