Corporate Social Responsibility
Our Commitment
Since its inception in 1999, Monta has been dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), maintaining long-term partnerships with various social workplaces. Key aspects include:
Inclusive Employment at Monta
Monta is dedicated to providing opportunities to individuals with mental or physical disabilities, recognising it as a key responsibility as a regional employer. To accommodate these employees, Monta has established separate spaces and adapted workshops at various locations where they can work under professional supervision.
Key Initiatives:
Over the years, Monta has successfully integrated many new employees from these work groups, instilling a sense of pride in their contributions.
Physical Disability Adaptations
Adaptations are also made for employees with physical disabilities. The goal of Monta is to include these employees as much as possible in day-to-day operations and make them part of the team as a whole.
Our colleague Eric, for example, has been deaf since birth and works as a logistics employee at our warehouse in Enschede. Eric uses the 'Live Transcribe' app and lip-reading to communicate effectively with his colleagues. His desk at Monta faces the door where lorries arrive, allowing him to see everyone coming and going. Special accommodations include a connection between the doorbell and a lamp at Eric's desk, so that he is aware when someone rings. Eric enjoys his work at Monta, he says every day at work feels "like Christmas", because he gets to ‘unwrap' something every day (he works at Inbound). He appreciates that he is able to concentrate at work, making time fly by. Eric loves working at Monta, and we are lucky to have him!
Local Suppliers and Sponsorships
Monta is a decentralised organisation, meaning that each warehouse operates independently to a certain extent. This way, even though Monta is a relatively large and growing company, we can keep our services personal and flexible. We also prefer to work with local suppliers. This way, we can help local companies grow. Besides, it is more sustainable! Moreover, we sponsor many local activities, sports clubs and events that are in some way related to our employees.
Collaborations
Monta collaborates with numerous organisations; below, we highlight the partnerships with a few of these organisations and explain how we operate around our warehouses.
Sterk@werk
Sterk@werk is a small-scale day programme for young people with disabilities between the ages of 16 and 30. Participants are guided through various tasks at our workplaces with the aim of developing their skills and potential in real work environments, ultimately aiming for a transition into a company.
Key Programme Features:
We are immensely proud of the progress and contributions of these young individuals. For more information about Sterk@werk, visit www.sterkatwerk.nl.
SOVAK
SOVAK is a care organisation that supports individuals with mental disabilities, helping them integrate into the labour market. Through SOVAK, clients aged 18 and above with mild to moderate mental disabilities work at Monta as fully-fledged employees who we are proud to consider our colleagues.
