Corporate Social Responsibility
Reynaers Aluminium’s corporate strategy is based on the integration of principles of financial profitability, social commitment and care for the environment. Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development are no vague concepts to our company. In practice this commitment is translated into concrete actions.
Care for the environment is also our concern
Reynaers Aluminium is aware that companies play an important role in the care for the environment. We take this responsibility seriously, by paying special attention to an ecologically responsible production process and by minimizing the amount of packaging.
The company has also set up a programme to reduce energy consumption. At our headquarters in Duffel, for instance, energy usage was reduced with 37% from 2008 to 2010. Also in Duffel, the roof of the warehouses is covered with 16,000 m² of photovoltaic panels, meeting over 80% of the electricity needs of the Reynaers’ headquarters.
Moreover, Reynaers works with one of the greenest materials available: aluminium. Aluminium is highly durable and 100% recyclable, a process that Reynaers actively encourages.
