ICT’s Focus on Corporate Social Responsibility

ICT recruits and assesses employees exclusively in terms of their potential and capacities for a specific job. We also do our utmost to create a positive working environment based on open and honest lines of communication, and free of discrimination, bullying and/or intimidation. ICT aims to create a multicultural environment and currently employs people of different nationalities. Employees have access to all the available information within ICT they need to help them develop and choose the best training courses for them.

Natural resources are finite. By collaborating with other companies and institutions, and participating in dialogues with public sector bodies and NGOs, we come up with ways to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition to obvious measures, such as motion sensors for lighting, energy-saving light bulbs and the installation of charging points for electric cars, ICT also uses bicycle couriers for its mail, plus sustainable furniture and equipment. We have reduced printed brochures and folder materials to a minimum and we have made everything available in digital format.

ICT has a so-called CO2 Performanceladder certificate. This not only works to our advantage in terms of clarity to our peers in the market, it also provides with insight into the company’s energy consumption and into potential savings. Our efforts aimed at cutting CO2 emissions revealed that we needed to take a number of measures to reduce our energy consumption, which in turn resulted in a reduction of costs for ICT. These initiatives include the above-mentioned measures to make our buildings more energy efficient.
