people & culture
Aalberts is built on entrepreneurship
We believe the more space people are given, the greater their chance of finding brilliant solutions for our customers. That is why we encourage everyone to take ownership, think independently yet work as one team.
You are in charge today of what happens tomorrow. For yourself, for the company, and for our planet.
the Aalberts way
‘the Aalberts way’ reflects the DNA of our company, it is what we stand for and what we practice and deliver every day. It is the common language in our organisation. It has been our strength since day one. It is the foundation for an even greater future that will lead to new growth paths. And it provides us with a focus when we review, recruit, coach and develop our talents.
We believe that long-term value creation can only be achieved by maintaining a company culture that embraces transparency and trust. We stimulate and protect a culture where people feel the need – and feel safe – to speak up and act with integrity. For us, this is real governance.
