Sustainability is at our core

 

At DAF we are committed to contributing to a better world. That’s why you will find sustainability embedded in our mission, our vision and our values. We see it as a natural part of the way we conduct business - it’s far more than just a corporate responsibility.

 
 

DAF sustainability framework

DAF Trucks reviews sustainability risks and opportunities within the ESG Framework: Environment (including both emission reduction and circularity), Social (care for people) and Governance (responsible business), all of them being applicable to our supply chain, our own operations, our dealers and customers, as well as society. Each pillar of our ESG Framework is linked to a United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Emission reduction

Inside DAF, a number of actions are being taken to reduce our impact, especially on the path towards zero-emission (GHG) operations. We are also undertaking specific actions with our suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of the parts and materials we specify and the ways in which our suppliers process these for us. In short: sustainable sourcing. For our customers, we continue to refine our product range to enable them to offer the most sustainable transport solutions, for example through improved fuel efficiency or alternative drivelines.

Circularity

Our Life Cycle Assessment includes recovery, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling in the entire value chain.

Care for people

Social sustainability is our responsibility towards those who work for us (directly or indirectly in the value chain) as well as towards the users of our products and services. It also embraces ‘giving back’ to society. Social sustainability aspects range from employee compensation, benefits and working conditions to driver and road user safety, as well as respect, inclusivity, and the wider scope of impact on society.

Conducting our business responsibly

Effective sustainability improvements require robust systems of ‘Governance’. These address taking ownership and responsibility, describing policies and actions (and ensuring that these are implemented, measured and reported on), and cover learning and communication. Governance is about being a responsible business partner. At DAF Trucks we see it as our responsibility to actively engage employees, value chain partners and legislators in creating more sustainable transport solutions as we lead our industry towards the future.
