We therefore consider the interests of customers, employees, shareholders, communities and other stakeholders in all aspects of our operations. Bekaert’s global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy is centered on four main pillars, namely our responsibility in the workplace, in the marketplace, towards the environment and towards society. Our CSR efforts and activities are therefore focused in such a way that balanced consideration is given to the interests of all respective stakeholders, i.e. employees, customers, shareholders, partners, local governments and the communities in which we are active. Sustainable manufacturing requires an ongoing process of improvement, a process which we continue to pursue in the next years. Bekaert's group-wide CSR report is based on the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) G3 guidelines regarding the GRI Sustainability Reporting Framework.
