Van Geloven Sustainability Policy: Snacking Together for a Greener Future
Our Sustainability Mission
As a snack manufacturer, we bear a great responsibility. We want not only to contribute to the enjoyment of snacking, but also to the well-being of the planet. Our sustainability policy is based on several pillars, within which we continually strive for improvement and change:
Engaged People
At Van Geloven, our employees are the beating heart of our company. We cherish their engagement, vitality and growth. With our 'One HR, One Company' principle, we strive for uniform processes and collaboration, where sharing knowledge and learning from one another are central. We invest in training and development plans to create a positive and inclusive working environment
Safety first
Safety is our top priority. We have strict safety programmes and carry out annual audits to ensure that our employees can work in a safe environment. Our 'For Us For Family' programme involves not only our employees, but also their families in our safety journey.
Reliable Sources
We strive for the highest standards of animal welfare, food safety and sustainability. Our ingredients are carefully selected and we work with suppliers who share our values. We are committed to using sustainable palm oil and certified soya, while continuously striving for better sources for our ingredients.
Van Geloven, waar snacken en duurzaamheid samenkomen voor een groenere wereld.
More mindful snacking
Our snacks are evolving towards a healthier choice without compromising on taste or quality. We actively reduce salt levels, use natural aromas, colours and flavours, and encourage the consumption of meat-free alternatives. We collaborate with partners such as De Vegetarische Slager to offer delicious and nutritious options.
Greener Production
We take our environmental responsibility seriously. Our goal is to reduce our CO2 emissions by 49% by 2030. We invest in energy efficiency, reduce water and energy consumption and aim to minimise waste streams. Our production sites are certified according to the International Food Standard (IFS), and we continue to innovate to meet the highest standards.
Transparency and Collaboration
We are proud of our efforts and are happy to open our doors to stakeholders. We share detailed information on our packaging, via social media and through our consumer service. Together with our partners, employees and consumers, we are working towards a sustainable and tasty future.
