Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can mean different things to different organizations. Most would define it as all of the initiatives or practices put in place by an organization to foster sustainability. Socially responsible companies need to be economically viable, have a positive impact on society, and respect and preserve the environment.
A socially responsible company goes beyond the profit motive. To delaware, CSR means that we try to leave the world a little better than we found it. Every day, the #peopleofdelaware help us to do exactly that.
delaware originates from a dream: to build a long-standing and sustainable organization that can be passed on to the generations to come. Realizing that dream, however, is not something you do overnight. We can only continue dreaming when we also take responsibility for our company’s relationship with the social and ecological environment.
Our purpose is to enable our people, our company and our customers to reach their full potential, while creating a positive impact in a challenging world. That is why CSR is a vital part of our identity and our strategy. It is part of who we are.

Over the years, the delaware CSR task force has launched several initiatives and continues to do so on a regular basis. We truly believe that thanks to these efforts, we can have a positive impact on our broader environment.
In 2020, delaware was among the first Belgian companies to be granted the ’SDG Pioneer’ certificate. This award recognizes our efforts towards sustainability in general, and our contribution to each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Voka, the Flanders' Chambers of Commerce and Industry also awarded delaware with the Voka Sustainable Business Charter in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. VOKA attributes this award to organizations who work result-driven and focus on continuously optimizing their sustainability actions.
Transforming a fragmented employee experience into a productive digital workplace with a fully engaged team: would that be a fata morgana? delaware employees Luk Moreels and Kristof Nuytens explain how you make such goal concrete reality.
Is Industry 4.0 all talk and no action? Here at delaware, we’ve noticed that many of our customers find themselves in a similar situation: an abundance of potential use cases, but a shortage of concrete implementations. Why? Our hypothesis: we have reached a ‘manufacturing status quo’ that is hindering us in fully grasping everything that Industry 4.0 has to offer.
Work faster and smarter: that is, no doubt, one of your main objectives as a CFO. SAP has been helping enterprises do just that since 1972. For many years, however, SAP has been struggling to debunk the persistent myth that their solutions are built for big companies. Did you know that 80% of SAP customers are SMEs? To help companies of all sizes rapidly reap the benefits of SAP S/4HANA, delaware has centralized all of its SAP and industry know-how and experience into its FAST solutions.
