Afdeling

The sustainability manager at DAF is responsible for improving sustainability within DAF and its value chain, making this measurable and reportable. In our opinion, this can only be done by integrating sustainability in all business processes and create sustainability goals for every department.

Sustainability reports into the Finance and Control organization of DAF Trucks and is based in Eindhoven. The role of the finance and control organization is to provide meaningful business information and maintain strong business controls to make sure we comply to all legal requirements and provide accurate information to our stakeholders.

In addition to financial information we are also defining metrics for our sustainability strategy and creating a control framework for these. The importance of Sustainability metrics will grow significantly in the coming years because of legal requirements to disclose non-financial information in its annual report.
