ECORYS Netherlands aims to achieve its business objectives in a sustainable and corporately responsible manner through recognising the economic, social and environmental implications of our activities. To do this ECORYS Netherlands is committed to a set of core CSR principles.

1. Legal Performance – adherence to the laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate.
    
2. Sustainability – the agenda of Sustainable Development (i.e. environmental protection, social justice and equity, and economic development) is integrated into our corporate culture, strategy and practice. We stimulate ECORYS Netherlands staff  to live up to the ECORYS ethical code:
    
   Social - the monitoring, assessment and management of the social impacts of our operations upon all stakeholders.
    
   Environmental - continually monitor, assess and manage the environmental impacts of our operations. We choose and promote effective environmental management systems and practices wherever possible. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our environmental performance.
    
   Economic – generate profit through business practices of integrity and fairness in-line with company values. As a majority employee-owned company we make a profit in order that we continue to operate, generate a reasonable return to our shareholders, to employ people and deliver our services. We are also sensitive to the wider economic implications of our corporate operations.
    
3. Stakeholder engagement – we will maintain open lines of communication with all stakeholders.  This ensures that we are aware of their views and can therefore be pro-active in integrating their needs with present and future business operations.
    
4. CSR reporting – we will provide stakeholders with accurate information relating to our CSR performance in an annual report. Integration of management and reporting systems ensures the continual improvement of our performance.
    
5. Implementation – We strive to have in place organisational arrangements with clearly defined responsibilities for company-wide implementation, enforcement (where necessary) and review of our CSR policies, objectives and procedures. The responsibility for successful implementation lies within each individual, teams and the company as a whole.
    
6. Monitoring - Progress against CSR objectives is monitored by the Board of Management, based on reports from the Operating Companies.
    
7. Communication - We will actively communicate about our CSR policy and actions to all relevant (internal and external) stakeholders.
