Social

At Syndus Group, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy is built on the ESG framework: Environmental, Social and Governance. These three pillars are deeply embedded in everything we do—ensuring that our approach to responsible business makes a real and lasting impact.

Respect for people and fair working conditions is one of our highest priorities. We are committed to upholding both international standards and national legislation. In fact, we go the extra mile to foster a safe, fair, and respectful working environment for all.

Below, we outline the key focus areas within Syndus Group related to the ‘Social’ aspect of ESG.

Sustainable Development Goals and Syndus Group

The United Nations has introduced 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a guiding and ambitious framework for creating a more sustainable world by 2030. In applying the ESG framework, we consistently align our efforts with the Sustainable Development Goals that are most relevant to Syndus Group.

A people centered approach

At Syndus Group, our people are our priority. In addition to offering robust employment conditions in accordance with the Dutch Metalworking Industry collective labour agreement, we are committed to fostering a working environment in which every individual feels respected, supported, and encouraged to grow. We place strong emphasis on employee health and wellbeing, as well as on cultivating a collaborative and inclusive workplace culture. To support this, we regularly organise team-building initiatives and social activities, with our active staff association playing an important role in strengthening internal cohesion.

Personal and professional development is a central focus within our organisation. Through our online learning platform, employees have access to a wide range of training programmes and development tools. Whether aimed at enhancing technical expertise or promoting personal growth, we provide the space and resources needed to support continuous learning.

Our commitment to people extends beyond our direct workforce. We treat temporary staff, clients, and suppliers with equal respect and are dedicated to building sustainable, long-term partnerships based on integrity and mutual trust.

Safety as a Non-Negotiable Condition

At Syndus Group, safety is not up for debate, it is an absolute requirement. We do everything in our power to ensure a safe working environment for our employees, clients, and suppliers. Our dynamic Risk Inventory & Evaluation (RI&E) serves as a key foundation, enabling us to identify and address potential risks at an early stage.

Safety is not a one-off effort; it is a continuous process. We work every day to strengthen our safety culture, actively encourage and value the reporting of unsafe situations, and ensure that all incidents are followed up promptly and effectively.

We also give full attention to social safety. Through targeted awareness campaigns and our annual Safety Days, we keep safety top of mind and continue building a safer future, together.

Equal Opportunities

At Syndus Group, everyone is given the opportunity to grow based on their talent and abilities. We treat all employees with respect and are committed to fostering an inclusive working environment where every individual feels valued. This principle is deeply embedded in our culture and reflected in everything we do.

A Safe Workplace

At Syndus Group, a safe working environment is the standard. We do not tolerate inappropriate behaviour in any form. Respectful interaction—with colleagues, partners, and clients—is essential, both in the workplace and online. Through proactive policies, we ensure that aggression, discrimination, and intimidation have no place within our organisation.

Privacy

At Syndus Group, we respect the privacy of all current and former employees. We take great care to ensure that all personal data processed by or on behalf of Syndus Group is securely protected. In addition, everyone is free to choose whether or not to join a trade union or other association, that choice is entirely their own.

Safety, Health and Wellbeing

At Syndus Group, reliability is one of our core values and for good reason. Reliability and safety are inextricably linked. That’s why we carry out our work without ever compromising on safety whether it concerns our clients or our employees.

We maintain a constant focus on safety and are continuously working to improve our performance in this vital area. It is an ongoing commitment that forms a fundamental part of how we operate every day.

Environmental

Syndus Group is actively committed to minimising its impact on the environment and surrounding communities. We are fully aware of the potential environmental consequences of our activities and continuously strive for improvements that help to reduce this impact. We regard compliance with environmental laws and regulations as the minimum standard – one on which we build further to uphold and strengthen our environmental responsibility.

Environment

At Syndus Group, respect for human rights and the promotion of fair and dignified working conditions are central to our way of working. We place great importance on complying with both international standards and national legislation. Because we believe in the value of making a positive contribution to society, we go beyond compliance – actively working to uphold and strengthen these principles throughout our organisation.

Governance

‘Collaboration’ and ‘Reliability’ are two of the five core values that define the identity of Syndus Group. These principles form the foundation of our governance approach – ensuring the organisation is managed in a responsible and transparent manner. Together with our stakeholders, we take ownership of our role in society by operating with integrity and contributing to a more sustainable future.
