Outlook to the future
Safety First
Building a safety culture that prevents accidents and condemns inappropriate behaviour in any form is the number one priority within ROTO and the management of all our Business Units. Providing a safe work environment where all our Family members feel safe to be who they are and where they are is central to our ROTO Family.
Therefore, all Business Units have adopted the Dupont Bradley Curve as a measure of the current status and guideline for improvement. The zero-measurement will be done in the coming months and will undoubtedly lead to a concrete action plan with numerous actions. New innovative methods will also be introduced to improve physical working conditions and heavy lifting in particular.
People
With an ageing workforce and a tendency that recruitment is becoming more complex, whilst we continue investing in labour conditions, find new ways of recruitment and stimulate our Family members to grow and develop themselves by investing in training and education through our newly initiated and existing internal academies. We do not expect the number of Family members to grow significantly in 2023.
Instability in Europe
As the injustice continues, we remain concerned about the suffering of so many people in the Eastern European region and the impact on everyday life around the world. We are convinced that matters will be resolved in a righteous way but at the same time regret the impact on the lives of so many. We follow developments in this volatile world day to day and do our utmost to stay on track for our Family members and the ROTO Ecosystem.
Sustainability
Action is required, which is why we are continuously aligning our goals with the 17 SDGs of the United Nations and are adapting to meet the ESG requirements. Plans for energy efficiency at all locations are contributing to the CO2 emissions goals. Awareness of these topics is recognised group-wide in the KPIs that have been developed for all eight core themes. These KPIs are our compass for navigating the Business Unit’s performance.
