Social Value Creation According to Zeeman

Zeeman’s CSR objectives are geared towards solutions that benefit people, the environment, and society. As such, these objectives are sustainably embedded within Zeeman’s business strategy for ensuring business continuity and forging long-term relationships. This strategy has enabled the company to build a solid financial foundation over the years. Zeeman’s CSR strategy is now widely recognised, as evidenced by the fact that Zeeman’s CSR manager, Arnoud van Vliet, was awarded the title of CSR Manager of the Year for 2019.

In the interest of ensuring better and more transparent reporting on supply chain responsibility and impact, CF Report has linked strategy with goals and impact.

A new impact model, the value chain model, and the connectivity matrix show the objectives and effects Zeeman reports on. Sustainability is not an absolute number; Zeeman is as sustainable as it gets, but that has not stopped the company from seeking new ways to reduce its impact on people and the environment and increase its positive contributions. The impact model illustrates this alongside the UN’s Social Development Goals. In the value chain model, Zeeman’s value creation is ‘plotted out’ at the various points in the supply chain and the input/output/impacts are reported at stakeholder level. In the connectivity matrix, the KPIs resulting from the material themes within the three CSR strategy pillars are organised in one dashboard. Together, these three diagrams serve as the blueprint for reporting.
