CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Introduction
Developing, producing and distributing products has an impact on the lives and well-being of people and exhausts the planet. Lanzfeld is aware of this and takes responsibility by operating sustainably: making a profit that does not come at the expense of people and the environment. Also called corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Social responsibility
At Lanzfeld, at least 50% of the employees are women and at least 10% are at a distance from the labour market or have a migration background. Lanzfeld does not use child labour. Dutch labour legislation is strictly followed and Lanzfeld is well insured against illness, accidents and liability. Every year, at least 1% of the net profit is spent on recognised causes with the theme health, freedom, nature and culture.
Environmental responsibility
Lanzfeld has measured and compensated its organisational CO2 emissions since 2020. We continue to reduce emissions through improvements in energy use, raw materials, packaging, waste and transport.
CO2 reduction programme
Our production location in Nootdorp has operated from a climate-neutral building since 2024, using a heat pump and solar panels. We continue to improve energy efficiency and reduce materials, packaging and waste.
Suppliers to pass the bar
We assess suppliers on their organisation, products and certificates and prefer partners and materials that support our environmental standards. This forms part of our continuing effort to reduce the footprint of our organisation, production and product range.
