ESG
With a proven track record in ESG innovation, WILVO is committed to continuous improvement in sustainability. Accordingly, our strategy includes a strong focus on ESG themes such as environment, health & safety and HR.
In practice, you can see that we have integrated ESG principles into supplier selection and evaluation criteria and that our high safety standards are constantly reinforced by targeted safety investments. In addition, with our refurbishment program for transportation systems, we are actively contributing to a circular economy by reducing raw material use and waste. This program earned us the ASML Circular Economy Award in 2019. In our cooperation with ASML, we are also jointly committed to continually reducing our CO₂ emissions. For example, we are currently saving on our electricity consumption equivalent to the consumption of 4,500 Dutch households.
We organize and rule the supply chain.
Together we outrun all the competition.
We direct the entire supply chain and therefore always take responsibility. This is why we have a team ready for you in which all important disciplines within the supply chain are represented: Quality, Technology, Logistics & Cost Control.
"We know how to exceed customer expectations time and time again."
