Sustainability is central
Our contribution to a sustainable future
At Van Leeuwen Zwanenburg Sloopwerken BV, sustainability is key. Our mission is to protect the world by turning waste into value, with a strong focus on reusing and recycling valuable raw materials. This offers numerous benefits for our customers, investors, employees, communities and the planet.
We focus on five specific UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), introduced in 2015. These goals are designed to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all through global cooperation, eliminating poverty and tackling climate change.
Our focus is on the following sustainable development objectives:
SDGs for sustainable development
Good health and well-being
Through our sustainable practices, we contribute to a healthier environment. Less waste and lower CO2 emissions make for cleaner air and water, contributing to SDG 3, which focuses on good health and well-being. This means a better quality of life for our customers and communities.
Efficiency and growth through cost savings on materials
By cutting costs on new materials, we boost economic growth and efficiency, which contributes to SDG 8, targeting fair work and economic growth. This means lower costs and higher efficiency for our customers, leading to economic benefits.
Waste Reduction for a More Sustainable World
By recycling and reusing materials, we can significantly reduce construction and demolition waste. This contributes to SDG 12, which focuses on sustainable consumption and production. For our customers, this means less waste and lower costs.
Reduction of CO2 emissions
Reusing materials helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is in line with SDG 13, which calls for action against climate change. This ensures cleaner air and a healthier living environment for all.
Protection of natural resources
By using fewer new materials, we protect natural resources. This supports SDG 15, which focuses on preserving terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity. Our customers contribute to the conservation of nature and biodiversity.
