Van den Bosch wins Dow 4STAR Gold Award

Van den Bosch is extremely proud to receive the highest rating this year following the Dow Chemicals 4STAR event. The company was presented with a Gold 4STAR award. During the annual event, Dow shares its 4STAR strategy with its partners, and traditionally concludes with an award ceremony.

Dow takes the opportunity of the event to evaluate the performance of its partners on the following four pillars: Safety, Service, Social Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability. These core values are part of the 4STAR programme, which Dow has established to encourage its partners to improve the supply chain.

Content of the pillars
For the Safety pillar, the number of incidents, the reporting of so-called near-misses, unsafe situations and the number of incident-free shipments are considered. The core value Service focuses on 'no shows', the number of date changes requested by the carrier and the rejection of shipments. The Sustainability pillar naturally focuses on sustainability initiatives, while Social Corporate Responsibility looks at, for example, responsible employership.

A top performance
All the achievements and initiatives of the past year related to the 4STAR pillars are assessed to determine the ranking. Van den Bosch scored the highest and received the Gold Award during the ceremony.

Van den Bosch thanks Dow for the positive evaluation and credits everyone who contributed to this great result.
