Sustainable development goals
These 17 sustainable development goals, linked to 169 targets, form the basis of our sustainability strategy. These goals, which are one and indivisible, reflect the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and ecological dimensions. The goals can be subdivided into five main themes: humankind, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership.
(Wo)man on top
No gender quota for us, equality is in our genes. What else would you expect from a company founded by a strong couple? Ann Vancoillie and Dirk Deleu manage Aluvision together, putting the theory of gender equality into practice. From top to bottom, all our teams are balanced when it comes to gender.
All about balance
The gender ratio isn’t the only thing we aim to balance out at Aluvision. We know life doesn’t stop when you leave for work, so we try to keep the environment as vibrant as possible, balancing hard work with fun and games. Our daily tournaments let colleagues blow off some steam, while our screen-free lunches bring back the inner peace. Moreover, occasional events and our yearly teambuilding make sure our team spirit gets an additional boost.
Knowledge is power
Our passion for inspiration sometimes takes us beyond the borders of our own company. After years of building our knowledge, we don’t want to keep it all to ourselves. That’s why we’ve built our showroom as an educational hub, with workshops and webinars to teach professionals about our field. Thanks to our international context, our employees have the opportunity to go abroad and grow, both professionally and personally.
Proud Belgian Maker
After being awarded the ‘Lion of Export’ prize in 2015, our efforts to create sustainable business growth were lauded with the Belgian Maker Award in 2017. The jury of experts, including co-organizers Karel van Eetvelt (Unizo) and Danny Van Himste (DHL), agreed that Aluvision excelled in its distinct focus on innovation and product development, both spearheads for the expansion of the company. We owe our awards to our strongly committed team and our clear vision for the future. Without a doubt, it's a crowning achievement and a motivator for the future development of our company.
Global icon, local impact
Sharing our knowledge isn’t the only way we aim to make an impact on the world around us. Many years ago, Guido Deleu, Dirk’s father, created a little statue known as ‘The Visitor’. This work of art went on to tour galleries around the world and now serves a whole new purpose. While the original was made out of aluminum and bronze, a new version is made out of ceramics. Every single statue is manufactured by local artisans in the Corres di Terra studio in Brazil. As such, The Visitor provides employment and prosperity to the community. This way, we’re happy to give back a little, creating quality of life for others across the globe.
