Labor Rights and Diversity

We believe in equal opportunity and diversity in the workplace. By partnering with schools and other organizations, we provide an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, regardless of background or education.

Investing in Education and Talent

At Neele-Vat, we invest in developing the next generation of logistics talent:

• Young Talent Programs & Kickstarters Program: These initiatives provide career opportunities for young talent and new startups in logistics.

Progress toward Sustainable Reporting

We are preparing for the implementation of the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires companies to prepare comprehensive reports on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance:

• 2025: We begin measuring our progress according to CSRD guidelines.
• 2026: We submit our first ESG report. With a clear roadmap, we are ready to report and make our sustainability efforts more transparent and effective.

At Neele-Vat, we strive for a more sustainable, inclusive and educated future. Join us on our journey to a greener world.
