Wicro makes an impact with CSR

30% of our colleagues have a disadvantage on the labour market. We call them ‘Wicronesians with special talents’. The diversity of our staff and blend of special talents makes Wicro stronger as a whole. We make the most of everyone’s abilities and qualities. We assess and adapt assembly work to our employees’ capabilities. For example, we check the design against ‘Design for Assembly’ (DFA) principles and provide support with integration if needed. After that we break up the assembly processes and develop tooling with sensors and vision systems to guarantee quality. This means that colleagues with disabilities are able to work error-free. This tooling is called Poka Yoke.

Corporate Social Responsibility is in our DNA. Everyone feels involved and knows that they really are part of our family.

Sustainability is the most-discussed topic in CSR, especially amongst plastic manufacturers and processors. It might even be the topic that presents the biggest and most significant challenges. We at Wicro understand this better than anyone, which is why protecting the environment takes top priority in our business operations. We use a targeted approach, but more than anything our mutual motivation, to create impact and tackle sustainability at the source. We do this via four main goals:

1. Making energy sources more sustainable
2. Reducing energy consumption
3. Reusing our own waste
4. Increasing the proportion of recycled and/or organic raw materials
