Recruitment, diversity and inclusion a challenging task
We are The Sustainable Colourful Metal Family Group and respect and welcome Family members of all kinds of background, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or with different opinions. To promote inclusion and attract a more diverse workforce in all positions, we are improving our diversity and recruitment policies and focusing more on equal opportunities for all.
Ambition matters, not age. Ad interim SHEQ coordinator Ferry van der Kaars has a boundless ambition. That is why we hired him. Ferry is 81 years young and runs half marathons.

With increased competition in the labour market, recruitment is challenging. The availability of skilled people is a major concern in all countries where we operate. It is not easy to find people for production work, and finding people with specific technical skills is even more difficult. To mitigate the risk, we partner with multiple agencies and provide continuous training and development through our newly launched and existing internal academies. We have set up preferred employer programmes and involve our Family members more in recruitment. To this end, we launched a referral bonus programme.
