Boskalis CSR report 2017
17
Our activities can have a major impact on the social environment we operate in. This impact is mostly positive: our interventions generally enhance the safety and prosperity of the local communities. Where possible, we procure services and goods locally as well as hire local workers. We engage with local communities through support of local organizations and initiatives, community development projects and donations to worthy causes, both directly and indirectly through our clients. We also support education and research programs.
