© VDL Groep 2026
As a family business, VDL Groep wants to pass on the company to the next generation in a stronger, healthier, and more sustainable state. Sustainability and circularity are fully integrated into the business operations. European sustainability legislation, such as the CSRD, is actively embraced. Transparency plays a key role in this and contributes to making the business world more sustainable.
New European regulations offer VDL Groep opportunities to accelerate the transition to sustainable products and processes. For example, legislation stimulates demand for sustainable products and makes the use of recycled materials more attractive. Investments in sustainable energy and infrastructure result in lower energy costs and more efficient production processes. This accelerates the adoption of clean technologies and makes sustainability mainstream and profitable.
VDL also sees opportunities in European initiatives that reduce administrative burdens and encourage sustainability. The chosen ESG strategy remains leading, with an emphasis on cooperation and quality as the foundation for sustainable growth.

At VDL, our ambition is to make a structured contribution to the UN sustainability goals. To achieve this, we have entered into a partnership with UNICEF, the United Nations children's rights organization. Together we map the different parts of our supply chain to ensure that the raw materials we use are free from child labor. In addition, UNICEF supports us in setting up a structure with which we can provide insight into the contribution that VDL makes to global sustainability objectives.
At VDL we are committed to building a sustainable future. By working with organizations such as UNICEF, we strive to fulfill our social and environmental responsibilities. Together we work towards a world in which the SDGs become reality, in which prosperity is fairly distributed and the planet flourishes.
