Policy statement Van Uitert B.V.

This policy statement was drawn up on behalf of Van Uitert Companies B.V. and applies to all subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as Van Uitert Companies.

Van Uitert Companies wants to achieve a good balance between corporate social responsibility and financial return, which is a precondition for guaranteeing the continuity of the company.

Our objective is to offer the best total solution(s) in the field of internal conveying – from advice and design to commissioning and the related complementary services (including engineering, maintenance and training). Van Uitert Companies is a global player and is committed to maintaining its leading position at home and abroad.

Van Uitert Companies wants to build a sustainable relationship/partnership with all of its customers/suppliers.

In doing this, we make no concessions in terms of the safety and health of our employees or of third parties or in terms of environmental impact.
