3 pillars, 3 ambitions, 12 focus areas
The UN Sustainable Development Goals are our compass: they give direction to the sustainability ambitions that we pursue.
Our CSR strategy is based on three pillars: people, planet and profit. For each pillar, we’ve defined an ambition and established 12 focus areas that will be prioritised in our sustainability efforts in the coming years. For each focus area, we set up concrete actions and define clear key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure our progress.

SDG Pioneer: Jan De Nul sets the perfect example
On 27 October 2020, Voka awarded the UNITAR 'SDG Pioneer' certificate to Jan De Nul NV. With this certificate, the employers' organisation officially recognises us as a figurehead of the UN SDGs.

We strive for a sustainable and inclusive work environment
We are constantly reducing our ecological footprint
We stand for sustainable business operations
Focus areas:
Energy, emissions and climate
Circularity and waste management

We explicitly choose to focus our sustainability efforts on the topics that are most urgent and relevant for our sector, our company and our stakeholders. In order to identify and prioritise these topics, we conducted a materiality analysis in 2019.
By involving employees in defining our 'material topics', we gain an excellent insight into what is going on in our company. This approach also helps us to create internal support for our CSR strategy.
The materiality analysis that we conducted in 2019 resulted in 10 concrete focus areas, divided over our three CSR pillars of people, planet and profit:
