Kees van der Loop is one of the participants of the international traineeship programme, Van den Bosch launched last September. He has now completed his first block. Together with his mentor, Rob van Dijk, he looks back, and also ahead.

Van den Bosch is keen to play its part in reducing CO₂ emissions too. Our activities for the biofuel industry are supported by decades of experience in transporting vegetable oils.

Climate change and political tensions are continuously disturbing the global supply chains. According to Pirke van den Elsen, Chief Digital Officer at Van den Bosch, shippers need to broaden their network if they are to remain resilient during uncertain times. But how do you develop a future-proof ecosystem?

Van den Bosch and UNICEF Netherlands are extending their long-standing partnership. Support will continue to go to the recycling programme Recycling Plastic, Creating Schools in Ivory Coast. What’s new is the programme, Climate Smart Villages in Madagascar.

Tens of millions of litres of vegetable oils are still being exported annually from Africa to Europe in flexitanks. Van den Bosch is now taking the first steps towards transferring this volume to sustainable ISO tank transport.
