SUSTAINABILITY THEME 5: SOCIETY Our contribution to SDG numbers 3, 6 and 9 society In 2018, we supported various social projects, including the Waterpas Foundation and the Plastic Soup Foundation. For more information about the Royal Lemkes Foundation, see page 50. We also worked with DSW sheltered workshop and delivered plants to numerous care homes. “ At DSW, we are proud of our longstanding cooperation with Royal Lemkes. Our employees find it hard to enter the labour market. Royal Lemkes gives them the opportunity to participate and develop their talents. They certainly enjoy working in the logistics heart of this wonderful, socially-minded company. Inclusive entrepreneurship is the new ‘normal’. Royal Lemkes is a company which other employers can learn from when it comes to inclusive employment. Practice has shown that where there is a will, there is a way. This does, however, require thinking in terms of possibilities, taking a conscious step and engaging in corporate social responsibility. Royal Lemkes and DSW are perfect partners when it comes to growing and developing employees. ” Johan van den Berg Jobhouse Manager, DSW & Fransje Dofferhoff Senior Accountmanager, DSW Sustainable Thursday 49
