Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is embedded in AEB's operations. We are fully aware of our social duties and are strongly committed to our customers. Our goal is to work with our partners (municipalities and waste collectors) to responsibly solve waste-related problems by recovering more raw materials and generating maximum energy from the remaining waste. Our methods are based on the three pillars of the international CSR guidelines.
International CSR guidelines
Our CSR policy is governed by the international ISO 26000 guideline. While all CSR themes are important in their own right, the three most relevant themes for AEB are: Environment, Working Conditions and Community Involvement and Development. We monitor our policies in dialogue with various internal and external stakeholders and tighten our CSR policy where necessary.
Environment
Environmental stewardship is a matter of course for AEB. We ensure that all our airborne emissions stay compliant with laws and regulations and our environmental input, and take care to convert various types of waste into energy and raw materials in the most sustainable and efficient way possible, avoiding (net) CO2 emissions.
Safe working conditions
AEB’s industrial processes come with the necessary safety risks. We always put safety first: for our employees, for visitors and for the environment. Our goal is to make AEB an accident-free company by paying close attention to workplace safety, safety instructions and rules.
Community involvement and development
As a renewable energy company, AEB occupies an important place in society. We contribute to the reuse of raw materials and fossil fuel reductions, as well as creating local jobs by taking part in the Recycle Service Centre (RSC). Here, people with a labour market disadvantage are given a chance of regular employment in the sector.
