A global player such as Jan De Nul Group has a meaningful impact on society. We strive every day to create value for that society. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is therefore an integrated part of our core business.

In recent years, our CSR policy has been given more structure and substance. Driven by our vision, mission and values, we have defined a CSR ambition and a clear CSR strategy. This strategy sets out how Jan De Nul Group intends to continuously improve its social (People), ecological (Planet) and economic (Profit) impact, using the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a compass. A transparent CSR organisation helps us to translate our strategy into actions, to set our course and to monitor progress.

In this report, we describe how we made progress in terms of sustainable business practices in 2019 and 2020. We highlight the strategy and policies and illustrate how we implemented them within the various divisions and departments. In the additional programme sheets, you will find more detail about our performance in terms of people, planet and profit.

Corporate social responsibility obviously requires continuous efforts. In the coming years, we will continue to set our course resolutely towards anchoring sustainability even more firmly in our DNA – with the aim to steadily increase our positive impact on people, planet and profit.
