Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program refers to our involvement that goes beyond our immediate environment. The existence of our company is not self-contained; it is part of a larger system of people, organizations and nature. The social responsibility of a business is to return to the world what it gave us.

Scope

This policy applies to Qbig itself, other Straatweg Group companies and may also apply to our suppliers and strategic business partners.

Policy elements

We continually aim to be a responsible company that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.

Our company’s social responsibility falls under two categories: compliance and proactiveness.

Compliance refers to the commitment of our company to meet legal policy regulations and our willingness to observe community values. Proactivity is any initiative to promote human rights, help communities and protect our natural environment.

Compliance

Legal

  • Respect the law
  • Honor its internal policies

  • Keep all partnerships and collaborations transparent and accessible

Protecting the environment

  • Providing our customers with circularity in their use of plastics

Supporting the community

Qbig actively creates jobs at Kansis, enabling us to realise our own FaQtory. Kansis is the work company in the region Stichtse Vecht and De Ronde Venen. In partnership with Kansis, Qbig provides more, diverse and rewarding jobs for people with disabilities. Work gives these people self-confidence and a right to exist. The value of a job to them is so much more than just an income.
