The European Green Deal sets a clear course: by 2030, a 50% reduction in waste and CO\u2082 emissions; by 2050, fully climate-neutral production. Achieving this requires bold decisions, close collaboration, and intelligent solutions.<\/p>\n

As an innovative market leader in reusable packaging and sustainable load carriers, we go beyond circularity. We help businesses future-proof their supply chains through solutions that stand out for smart design, reliability, and transparency, from concept to execution.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1764341292390{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}” text_direction=”default”]We invest in technologies, data, and partnerships that drive measurable CO\u2082 reductions and process improvements. Our offering empowers companies not just to meet sustainability targets but to exceed them. Not because regulations demand it, but because it\u2019s the better way. And the necessary one.<\/p>\n

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guide our commitment to a fairer, healthier, and more sustainable world. In parallel, we embrace ESG principles (Environment, Social & Governance) to ensure our impact is measurable, transparent, and accountable.<\/p>\n

This is how we turn vision into results and ambition into action.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”1″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

CSRD & ESG<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As of 2024, European companies are required to report on their environmental, social, and governance impact under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This legislation demands not only transparency, but demonstrable progress.<\/p>\n

At Van Vliet, part of Container Systems B.V., we fully embrace this responsibility. Our mission is built on reuse, efficiency, and collaboration, principles we translate into measurable outcomes aligned with ESG criteria and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1764170996369{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” text_direction=”default”]\n
