Corporate Social Responsibility
At ELEQ, we consider Corporate Social Responsibility not only important — we live it. Quality, safety, health and care for the environment are part of everything we do, from design to delivery and from collaboration to service. We look beyond today, think ahead in the value chain, and always go the extra mile. Together we ensure a safe and responsible future for our people, our customers and our planet.
Working safely, healthily and with pleasure
Our people make the difference. We believe good entrepreneurship starts with people. We provide safe working conditions, encourage involvement and give everyone the opportunity to participate and develop.
- Safety
Safety always comes first. We ensure a safe and healthy workplace where everyone can work with pleasure. By continuously reviewing and improving, we reduce physical strain, environmental stress and psychosocial pressure. Safety is structurally embedded in our organisation through clear safety guidelines, 5S audits and regular safety rounds that identify and minimise potential risks. We also evaluate our safety risks every three years through a formal risk assessment (RI&E). - Participation & engagement
Employees have a voice through the Works Council in Steenwijk, which represents staff on both small and large organisational issues. The Works Council is re-elected every four years. In addition, our employee association organises social and cultural activities and supports local charities through annual fundraising. - Local community & social responsibility
We invest in the region by sponsoring local events, sports clubs and cultural initiatives. Examples include regional sporting events and the longstanding sponsorship of the Rabo Theater de Meenthe. We prefer to outsource work locally whenever the price-quality ratio is acceptable. - Education & development
We invest in knowledge and growth. Through training programmes, education and coaching, we ensure that everyone continues to develop and can perform their work with confidence. In addition, together with regional partners, we invest in practice-oriented technical education programmes such as the RPA, where students combine one day of classroom education with four days of hands-on experience within our company. We are also present at events such as Techniek Tastbaar and welcome schools from the surrounding area to visit ELEQ for a behind-the-scenes look, combined with a guest lecture.
Our certifications
We make quality, safety and reliability measurable. Through our certifications, we demonstrate that we operate in accordance with international standards and that our processes, products and measurements are independently assessed. This gives you the assurance that you can rely on ELEQ — today and in the future.
Moving forward together
We believe that responsible entrepreneurship starts with care for people, the environment and the quality we deliver. This is reflected in everything we do. Corporate Social Responsibility is firmly embedded in our way of working. Today and tomorrow, we take responsibility for quality, safety and sustainability.
