Sustainability

Since 2023, we have been working on sustainability in a more structured way and have successfully carried out several initiatives.

In 2024, we received the Sustainable Entrepreneurship label for these efforts.

Within our organization, the focus is mainly on the following SDGs.

In the meantime, we have prepared a stakeholder analysis. We have mapped the needs and expectations of both internal and external stakeholders, identifying which stakeholders have high or low interest and influence.
This served as the starting point for the double materiality matrix (see image).

In 2026, we will place an “extra” focus on innovation and infrastructure!

In our sustainability policy, we work with three key pillars: social, economic, and ecological. Each year, we set ourselves at least 10 ambitious goals.

People

We believe it is important that all our employees, freelancers, job candidates, Stempact participants, and students have a safe, warm, and secure workplace. Anyone with the right mindset and values is welcome in our family business, regardless of beliefs, origin, or gender.

In 2024, we started our first stakeholder analysis. The intention is to repeat this regularly. This way, we stay connected and maintain a clear overview of our actions and commitments towards them.

Environment – our planet

Doing business in the chemical sector is not always an easy task. Nevertheless, we strive to do this to the best of our ability. In 2025, we will develop a purchasing policy to ensure even more that our partners also respect the environment. We have reduced CO₂ emissions wherever possible. We share our 57 years of knowledge with everyone so that none of this expertise is lost. Through videos, application sheets, and workshops, we make possibilities and safety guidelines accessible via our website, our own manuals, and handbooks.

Under the leadership of composites expert and court-appointed expert Marc De Moor, new developments are being carried out and alternatives are being sought, including more natural products, production methods, and kits to further protect the environment wherever possible.

Governance – partnerships

Within V-Sure | Vosschemie Benelux, it is Claudia De Moor who establishes collaborations with cities and municipalities, various associations, and social initiatives. Wherever possible, she connects entrepreneurs and associations with schools and youth to share the message of Vosschemie Benelux and the broader sustainability principles. We do not stand on the sidelines; we take a leading role in the Lier region, Mechelen–Kempen, Antwerp, and with V-Sure also internationally.

In 2025, V-Sure | Vosschemie Benelux will again participate in the VCDO (Flemish Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship by Voka). In this way, the continuous commitment of Marc and Claudia De Moor, as well as the entire V-Sure team, to sustainable business practices is monitored and safeguarded.

Some actions in 2024

JOL Day

23 September 2024
Vosschemie Benelux | V-Sure celebrates a new milestone in sustainability! We are pleased to announce that we are participating in the JOL Day for the second time on September 23. During JOL Day, we invite 90 young people from Lier to get to know our team, our products, the magic of chemistry during a workshop, and our sustainability story. JOL Day is the result of a collaboration between the City of Lier, L4Business, Lier schools and 400 young people. We were able to achieve this through specific initiatives focused on knowledge sharing, partnerships, and the commitment of our entire team. At Vosschemie Benelux | V-Sure, we remain dedicated to building a more sustainable future, and we are grateful for the support of our employees, partners, and young participants. On to even more sustainable initiatives!

The JOL Day is linked to SDG 4 Quality Education and SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals.

UAntwerp Solar Boat Team

September 2023 - August 2024
We are proud to support the Solar Boat UAntwerp Team with our environmentally friendly bio-epoxy, helping them develop a more sustainable solar boat. Thanks to our collaboration, they have taken important steps in researching sustainable materials.

And successfully!

Vosschemie Benelux | V-Sure achieved the VOKA Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and, together with 49 other companies, became a VCDO Laureate 2024.

Some actions in 2023

We strive for a leading position in the supply of innovative, sustainable technical solutions using liquid cold-curing resins across various sectors in both industry and the private market.

Therefore, we focus on developing a sustainable product range. In the longer term, we aim to explore opportunities for circular processes to minimize the impact of consumption and production.

Additional budget was allocated to research and development of alternative materials and production methods that reduce environmental impact.

Our long-term and short-term objectives provide a framework to work purposefully on sustainability initiatives that benefit both our core business and society as a whole. It is important to regularly evaluate and adjust these objectives in response to changing circumstances, regulations, and new insights.

V-Sure, a chemistry with nature

In the rapidly evolving world of liquid cold-curing plastics, we are committed to providing technical solutions and advice, but also to shaping a more sustainable future. At Vosschemie Benelux | V-Sure, we see sustainability not as a trend, but as an indispensable element of our identity. Our vision is based on creating positive impact on both our industry and wider society. V-sure a chemisry with nature.
