A-kwadraat receives 'Voka Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship' once again

Fifty companies from the Mechelen and Kempen region have been awarded a 'Voka Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship'. This is a record, according to Voka Mechelen-Kempen. Together, the companies have undertaken 750 sustainability initiatives.

‍

Sixteen of those actions were from A-kwadraat. The most important action was undoubtedly the expansion of our mission. We are evolving from a customized employment company to an activation company, while at the same time focusing on the job satisfaction of our employees. Our efforts in this area have also been rewarded with the SDG Champion label, about which more will be revealed later this year.

‍

But as always, our action plan also addressed a whole host of other sustainability issues. These included the development of a new Health & Food site and a series of innovative co-creations with customers. But also, for example, the active role we played in embedding the collaboration between Antwerp's social enterprises in the new umbrella organization Maatwerkt.

For all these achievements, the VCDO evaluation committee awarded us the VCDO certificate for the fifteenth (!) time. On top of that, we were also nominated for the 2024 Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award. The winner will be announced on September 26 during the Voka Business Award 2024 gala in our home town of Turnhout.
