Providing the best workplace for our people

Only the best is good enough for our employees. We want to offer them a safe, healthy and pleasant working environment, where everyone can develop their talents and be themselves. Our positive, family-oriented corporate culture makes people enjoy working with us and feel good about our company. Our three focus areas are:

Working safely and healthy

Soudal monitors the safety and health of employees, external employees and local residents. We commit to inform all our stakeholders in an understandable manner about any risks and measures. At the same time, we expect our employees to correctly follow our health and safety regulations. In order to fully internalise safe behaviour and create a real safety culture, we are currently working on a Safe Place to Work Policy.

working safely

Therefore we developed the Soudal Safety Building program for our site in Turnhout, which has three dimensions:

  1. A solid foundation of safety standards, well-defined procedures, daily consultation, order and cleanliness, all kinds of safety measures (such as personal protective equipment) and process safety.
  2. Support consisting of safety training, awareness-raising actions, safety campaigns and continuous monitoring via reporting, audits and accident analyses.
  3. Good leadership, with leaders who promote the Soudal vision at every level and who coach and monitor their teams intensively.

Global business on a human scale

Soudal stands for interaction: not only between products, but also between people. As an ambitious and fast-growing company, we have developed into a global player with more than 4,000 employees over the last few decades. With our unique family culture, we take care of the most important asset of our company: our people.

Our actions for our employees are taking place on three levels:

  1. We maintain the values of our family corporate culture, despite growth
  2. We are committed to offer a pleasant working environment and mental well-being
  3. We create a diverse working environment where everyone can be themselves.

Sustainable employment

Sustainable employment is becoming increasingly important. Due to an aging population, the share of working people in the population is decreasing, while work continues to increase and society keeps demanding more and more from us. That is why it is important for Soudal to have employees who are strong, have relevant knowledge, are fit and happy and have the motivation to learn and grow within our company.

Our actions regarding sustainable employment are taking place on three levels:

  1. We create lifelong careers by investing in job and career opportunities. This also allows us to attract and keep talent.
  2. We invest in automation and workable work.
  3. We give everyone the opportunity to take training courses.
