BEHAVIOUR
We acknowledge that the people of our company are key to our success reaching our goals and to make a difference. For that everyone needs to know what is expectation from them. This starts with setting clear targets and deadlines on company level, which we have done by our various roadmaps.
The next step is to govern these targets in processes. One of our people started a graduation project with the aim to effectively embedding our sustainability ambitions in our processes, which we expect to conclude in 2024.
From that we can set team and individual goals and objectives, which we should monitor regularly and whereby we should make clear how we do that, to promote accountability. With incentives, celebrating successes etc., we can steer behaviour further. There is still much work to do. Our target is to have determined proper benchmarking and targets for 2030 and 2035 in 2025.
Internal survey
In 2023, we conducted an internal survey focused on our internal communication and sustainability efforts. The survey was completed by 24% of our total workforce. However, if we consider all the people who were working onboard at that time, along with our office colleagues, the participation rate increases to 45%.
The respondents rated the importance of sustainability for them as 8.4 on a scale of 1 to 10. When asked about the significance of sustainability to Anthony Veder, they gave a rating of 8.6 out of 10. Interestingly, 57% of the participants stated that they are aware of our sustainable ambition, while 36% admitted to having a basic understanding of our goals.
Our sustainable ambition was rated 8.3 out of 10, and the support for our sustainability ambition received a rating of 8.4.
Overall, these are very encouraging results. They indicate that we are on the right track in terms of communicating our sustainability goals. However, there is room for improvement in sharing our ambition.
Enhancing our communication strategies will undoubtedly contribute to increasing awareness and emphasizing the crucial role our colleagues play in achieving our sustainability ambition.
