Mission Statement

EHS (Environment, Health & Safety)

Founded in 1899 and being active in various types of activities in the Port of Antwerp, Schelde-Natie nv has positioned itself in the recent decades as an autonomous and established value in logistics. Training, experience, creativity and flexibility are the key to problem-solving action and providing optimum service to its customers, with the option to scale up and develop new projects.

The continuity of business activities is ensured by placing safety, health/ well-being and the environment at the forefront. This policy is applied at all Schelde-Natie locations, together with the applicable laws/regulations and safety standards of the customers. All employees are trained and instructed in these regulations in such a way that everyone within this organisation contributes to a safe and environmentally conscious working atmosphere. The required trainings (internal/ external) and resources that Schelde-Natie nv provides must enable all employees to take on their individual responsibilities and strictly follow the safety regulations.

The use of a risk analysis and “Continuous Improvement Plan” creates the opportunity to identify risks and dangers quickly at the Schelde-Natie nv locations and measures/ solutions/ adjustments can be set against them. Due to the extensive training, employees within the company are able to contribute to the ultimate goal: Preventing personal injuries, material/environmental damage and striving for zero accidents.

When applicable, Schelde-Natie nv guarantees to comply with the latest known FCA standard (published by Ovocom VZW) and the guidelines of the FAVV/ NVWA regarding compliance with the reporting guidelines. By working as 1 team, with the common goal to provide qualitative service, (food) safety, health and environment, we contribute daily to booking successes for ourselves, the customers and the company.
