It can and should always be more sustainable

As a family business that goes back generations and looks ahead for generations to come, we take responsibility for caring for people and the world we live in. Curious how we do that? We’d love to tell you more.

Sustainable marketing

Did you know De Toekomst is one of the most sustainable graphic companies in The Netherlands? We are committed to successful sustainable marketing. We’re happy to advise you on the possibilities of digital and printed media. If you choose print, there are many sustainable options available. Whether you’re looking for CO2 neutral printing, IPA-free printing, eco printing, printing on FSC®-certified paper, or simply recycled paper, we can do it all.

Thanks to our environmental management certification based on ISO 14001, ISO 50001 (energy management), ClimateCalc certification, and the FSC® label, you can be sure your projects are produced sustainably.

Climate-positive printing

A great sustainable development at De Toekomst is that we are a climate positive company. By printing climate-neutrally, we respond to climate change and, together with you, make a valuable contribution to protecting the climate.

In addition, we invest in a climate project in Africa to provide people there with efficient cook stoves, so they burn less wood when cooking. This significantly reduces CO2 emissions during cooking. It’s a social project that helps not only the environment, but also the local community.

Our company is called De Toekomst, so we should be working on the future too.

Green investment

We invest in making our buildings more sustainable with heat exchange systems, LED lighting, and of course we use green energy. We also installed 260 solar panels on our roof, allowing us to meet our own energy needs. In addition, we drive electric and hybrid cars.

We also provide green hosting and are fully CO2-neutral. The energy we draw from external sources is generated from renewable sources, and we offset this green electricity through CO2 compensation.

Socially responsible and engaged

For us, corporate social responsibility isn’t a project it’s how we work. We steer on People, Planet and Profit, with clear annual targets for quality, environment and social policy, in line with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.

In addition to the environmental measures mentioned above, we do more. We separate waste as efficiently as possible, replace environmentally harmful substances, and reuse materials wherever we can.

We translate sustainability into the work we do for clients: from design and print to digital solutions, we consciously choose responsible alternatives. For our people, we provide a safe, respectful working environment with attention to training and development. We are socially involved in the area around our company, and demonstrate this by sponsoring seven local sports and community causes.

This is how we deliver real value for brands and for the world around us today and in the future.

De Toekomst as a place to learn

We have a great craft, and we’re proud to share it. De Toekomst is a recognized training company and offers internships and learning opportunities for students who want to learn the trade. We’ve already trained several young professionals ourselves and given many interns great opportunities. Interested in the chance to learn at De Toekomst too?
