Sustainability is at our core

 

At DAF we are committed to contributing to a better world. That’s why you will find sustainability embedded in our mission, our vision and our values. We see it as a natural part of the way we conduct business - it’s far more than just a corporate responsibility.

 
 
 

DAF sustainability framework

DAF trucks reviews impacts, risks and opportunities within the sustainability framework, encompassing emission reduction, circularity, care for people and responsible business. Each pillar covers our value chain from our upstream direct supply chain, our own operations, to our downstream dealers and customers, as well as wider society. In addition, each pillar is linked to a united nations sustainable development goal.

Emission reduction

DAF’s main impact on the environment is through the emission of greenhouse gases and their related impact on global warming. Resulting from the double materiality assessment, ‘climate change’ and ‘GHG emissions’ are critical topics we need to address.

Circularity

DAF is embracing circularity as a core principle of its business processes. Circularity focuses on extending the lifecycle of products and materials, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and responsibly. In our approach to circularity, DAF uses the r-ladder framework: reduce, reuse, repair, remanufacture, and recycle.

Care for people

‘Care for People’, highlights our dedication to social sustainability. This encompasses our responsibility towards our employees, partners in our value chain, users of our products and services, as well as society. Social sustainability means ensuring that our employees receive fair compensation, comprehensive benefits, and safe working conditions.
