Certificate Corporate Social Responsibility

Van Os-Sonnevelt has successfully participated in Quadrant, the Learning Network for Corporate Social Responsibility of VOKA Halle-Vilvoorde.

In the Learning Network Corporate Social Responsibility, businesses engage in a dialogue with one another and with specialized consultants of Sustenuto in search of higher levels of sustainability for their activities. Theoretical concepts are interspersed with practical exercises and testimonials from former participants who applied Quadrant insights into their own businesses.

Van Os-Sonnevelt’s Christophe Landuyt took part in the sessions of the Learning Network. He made himself familiar with the basic principles of sustainable business and sought means to apply new insights to the maximum in the daily activities of Van Os-Sonnevelt and in its dialogue with customers and suppliers. During the Community Day on April 7th at the social centre ‘La Ferme de nos Pilifs’, Christophe received the CSR certificate on behalf of Van Os-Sonnevelt.
