Socially responsible entrepreneurship is a wide catch-all term and the policy for it can be multifaceted. An important part is the 'Corporate Accountability' we have as an organisation towards society. Unfortunately, this global society is not everywhere as it should be. As organisation we would like to do something about this; we want to make a difference. Therefore, sponsoring means much more than just supplying funds. Our organisation wants to act responsibly and pursue concrete goals that are in line  with our vision and strategy. That is why Van den Bosch Transporten entered an alliance with UNICEF in 2011. Besides donating a fixed sum, we work on an extra contribution for this charity together with all our employees and stakeholders. This is something that is supported by our organisation, Something we find important.

As a big player in the bulk transport market, Van den Bosch Transporten is an important contributor to the logistic chain of raw materials that contribute to social well-being in the Netherlands, in Europe and even beyond. A very important part of our organisation is involved in the transport of bulk products that are processed as raw materials in our daily food. Because of the role of our organisation in that logistic food chain, we have purposefully chosen to clearly connect  to the food market for our sponsoring policy. Van den Bosch Transporten is convinced it can best contribute to society by doing what they do best and by seriously taking responsibility for the logistic services in the world around us. That is what our 'Corporate Accountability' entails.

World Hunger

Over 200 million children are starving worldwide. Sometimes they are even dying from it, or – when they survive – mentally and physically lag behind to such an extent, that they will never be able to catch up. A lack of essential nutrients causes a serious risk of irreparable damage. For instance, they are often too small for their age, but also their IQ is often lower. That leads to bad school results and fewer chances and lower pay later in life. The poverty and malnutrition circle thus remains unbroken. Nutrition is crucial in the development of this world population and of the future generations. Van den Bosch Transporten works with food every day. World hunger therefore is something that deeply touches our organisation. Of course we cannot solve this problem, but we can be socially responsible by seriously contributing.

Van den Bosch Transporten & UNICEF 

We are aware of the fact that there are many charities deserving sponsoring. Despite that we deliberately chose one main charity. All sponsoring funds have been combined and are invested in UNICEF. World hunger connects Van den Bosch Transporten and UNICEF in every respect. This purposeful way of crystal clear sponsoring is typical for our organisation: we like to enter into sustainable relationships. The structural support to UNICEF contributes to less world hunger and children’s general development. In this way, we deliver a valuable contribution to society and our sponsoring remains close to home: food and wellbeing.
