CSR obvious part of our company

Corporate Social Responsibility is an obvious part of Metalo's business and culture. For Metalo CSR means to strife for a balance between healthy corporate returns, a better environment and optimal welfare of employees and society. We see it as our duty to work on a daily basis on CSR and to make it known to our employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.

Welfare employees

One of the goals of our organization is the well-being of our employees. The well-being of our employees is promoted by providing a healthy, good and safe working environment. Well-applied health and safety regulations are in the interests of our organization, our employees and our customers. Metalo has prepared a Risk Inventory and Evaluation (RI&E), which has been assessed by The Health & Safety Service.

Metalo invests a lot in a relaxed and positive working environment by stimulating and creating an informal working atmosphere with open communication, with employees having their own responsibility with great freedom. In addition, regular work consultation is organized. Metalo communicates openly and honestly about its policies, future plans and possible price changes.

Metalo's policy is to keep our employees sustainable and optimally employable. The policy is aimed at the longest possible healthy, motivated, involved and therefore productive being of our employees, both from the point of view of employees and the organization. Metalo achieves her goal by taking into account education and age and the associated specific characteristics and needs.

Following various forms of education is encouraged within the organization and is accessible to all employees. This leads to internal flow, which makes knowledge and skills optimally used, and our employees remain committed and bound to our organization.

Metalo takes responsibility for young people and offers them internships. Metalo is a recognized Learning Company. Thus, we are actively contributing to the development and transfer of knowledge to others who want to learn the profession.

Recruitment and selection will look at the future colleague\'s competences regardless of age, origin or work restriction. For example, part of the workforce consists of (partially) disabled employees.
