Cradle To Cradle Bronze Silver and Gold

QbiQ again obtained the Bronze Cradle to Cradle certificate. This coveted certificate has to be requested, after which an elaborate test takes place, every two years.

Cradle To Cradle

The central idea of the philosophy behind cradle to cradle is that all materials used can be reused in a different product after their life in a specific product. The first difference with conventional reuse is that there is no loss of quality and no by-products that are dumped later on. This cycle is indicated with the motto: waste equals food. This certification confirms that QbiQ is socially responsible and treats the environment sensibly. For instance, QbiQ uses eco-friendly coatings and profiles and glass can be reused for all eternity.

Gold for social policy

QbiQ has taken major steps in the social domain, they even score Gold here. This maximum score is the icing on the cake of an intensive social policy. QbiQ dedicates itself to offering work to people with a great distance to the labour market and QbiQ supports at least one charity a year. Last year this was Stichting Het Vergeten Kind.

Gold for energy policy

In the field of energy-saving and limiting carbon monoxide emission, QbiQ obtained the maximum score and was also rewarded with Gold for this aspect.

Below is a complete overview of the scores for the various aspects.

QbiQ takes corporate social responsibility serious and therefore focuses strongly on this.
