Colruyt is an example of the large-scale implementation of avant-garde practices in the sphere of company responsibility – all completely unbeknownst to the general public, and even its own customers.
Colruyt goes so far as to say that it is thanks to the effort and investment it has put into each of these three areas – the environment, human beings and society – that it is in full expansion today.
This is the approach that, over the last ten years, has prompted Colruyt to undertake dozens of initiatives to protect the environment (a windmill for self-sufficiency in energy, waste recycling, water purification, the limiting of atmospheric emissions, management of a fleet of lorries designed to improve road safety and respect for the environment, etc.).
Colruyt is known for its proactive social policy in which direct communication between employees and their superiors is seen as the central key.
In Flanders, Colruyt is a pioneer in the financial participation of employees.
Colruyt is also urging the Government to introduce the legislative measures needed to improve tax and social provision to help further employee participation.
