Afdeling
The sustainability department 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. In 2028 DAF will disclose significantly more non-financial information in its annual report than it has ever done before, and this information has to be assured (limited assurance by an external accountant). Therefor we have to make sure data is reliable, complete and accurate and controls are in place. But more importantly we have to implement sustainability in every aspect of our business.
