Employers who go the extra mile and lead with their entrepreneurial heart can become Proud Partners under the SROI framework. You qualify if you either employ at least 5% of your workforce from people with a distance to the labor market, or procure at least 5% of your services and supplies through organizations that engage this target group. Proud Partnership under SROI supports your corporate social responsibility goals and aligns with recognized criteria for social return, meaning your efforts contribute to both compliance and meaningful impact.

Hans van de Vorst, Director: “All of our waste systems can be assembled by people with a distance to the labour market — including those employed by our clients, of course.” This is how we share responsibility with our clients.

Priscilla Klein, HR Manager: “Every employee has their own strengths. In addition to the information we receive from WerkSaam about a candidate’s potential, we start by letting them work with as many machines as possible. That way, we learn where their true strengths lie and can assign them to a role that works well for both parties.” At Helden van Staal, corporate social responsibility goes far beyond simply placing people in jobs. There is regular dialogue about the opportunities and possibilities for employing individuals with a distance to the labour market. Creating opportunities — that’s what social responsibility is all about.
