Bekina receives the Sustainable Business Charter from Voka
On June 16th 2022 we received recognition for our sustainable business operations. Voka East Flanders said it with flowers at the Ghent University Botanical Garden. We were awarded the Sustainable Business Charter (VCDO), something that isn’t handed out to just any company. We first had to successfully implement an action plan for sustainable business operations.
What does the Voka Sustainable Business Charter entail?
Approach
Voka helps companies to make sustainable business an integral part of their company DNA and achieve their sustainability goals. With the Voka Sustainable Business Charter, you use a customised action plan to work towards operations that are profitable for your business, people and the planet.
Recognition
Through the Voka Sustainable Business Charter, businesses build their international profile and help to achieve the United Nations’ 17 sustainability goals (SDGs). These have been signed by a total of 194 countries worldwide. Voka works with CIFAL Flanders/UNITAR, an international training centre focused on sustainable management that can award companies with the internationally recognised UNITAR certificate.
By working with the SDGs as a framework, you can create widespread support and achieve progress on an economic, social and ecological level. They form the compass for a future-focused and sustainable company policy.
