Township Eindhoven is known for its progressive approach to sustainability and innovation. The collaboration with local companies, such as Van Zelst, demonstrates how these principles are put into practice. For instance, this supplier was selected through a tendering procedure to support the municipality with the coffee supply.
Marloes, contract manager at the municipality, explains that when awarding a contract, not only price and quality are decisive, but also the value that partners offer each other. The municipality strives for an inclusive society and collaborates with sheltered workshops. This is evident in the partnership with Van Zelst, which deploys personnel from Ergon, Eindhoven's sheltered workshop. Through this, the municipality contributes to social sustainability, which is a key priority.
In addition, solutions such as digital screens on the machines that share information from the municipality are key aspects of this collaboration. This reduces paper usage and promotes a sustainable work environment.
Township Eindhoven remains committed to a social and sustainable policy, which only strengthens the collaboration with Van Zelst. These partnerships are important for the future of the city and the quality of life for the residents.
