Bruijnooge had already served as Interim Managing Director for the past seven months and previously held the role of CFO at Veko for three years.

The carbon footprint shows our emissions for scope 1, 2 and 3. This means it only shows emissions from our premises and employees.
What are we doing to reduce CO2 emissions?
Our premises are equipped with 770 solar panels. In addition, our energy-efficient fleet consists entirely of hybrid cars.
There has been a decrease in car travel. Our car travel is limited because our various sales locations are close to our customers. Also, many consultations take place via telephone and video conference.
Compared to last year, energy consumption has increased, this is due to the scarcity of the arc detection for the solar panels at Witte Paal 7.
Besides insight into emissions, it is important for us as a company to pay continuous attention to emissions and we are constantly working on reduction opportunities. Sustainability and continuous improvement are high on our agenda.
With a score of 68 points, Veko is among the top 8% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis. An improvement with last year, which we are proud of! We are working hard to make our business processes more sustainable.
EcoVadis assessed Veko and 75,000 other companies worldwide on environmental, social and ethical performance. We work hard every day to continuously improve this and this assessment gives us good insights.
We are proud to introduce our new waterproof luminaire: the Duncan IP65.
The Duncan IP65 is the solution for any environment with high demands on luminaires. The new design is both dust-proof and waterproof. This makes the IP65 the perfect addition to the successful Veko Duncan linear lighting range.
The specially designed tapered design of the luminaire optimally diverts water away from the LED unit.
