Stakeholders

A two-way street

We understand that our impact on the world and the world's impact on us go hand in hand. It's like a two-way street. This awareness guides our commitment to doing better for the planet and staying ahead of changes in the world. We believe that by embracing this dual perspective, we can shape a harmonious and balanced future for Le Nouveau Chef.

Understanding our stakeholders

To ensure a diverse and comprehensive understanding of perspectives, we actively sought input from a spectrum of stakeholders. Through surveys and interviews with employees, managers, suppliers, customers, dealers, ambassadors, partners, and collaboration with the Dutch industry association, we've put together insights that guide our decision-making.

Fundamental impact on performance

Knowing what our stakeholders want is fundamental to our performance. Whether it's about growing relationships, operational excellence, or simply understanding that we can't operate without our stakeholders, their input is at the heart of our journey.

Most Important ESGP Topics for Our Stakeholders

Environment

Our stakeholders express a keen interest in the environmental impact of our operations. This includes energy consumption, emissions (CO2, NOx, carbon SOx, VOC), responsible use of raw materials (metal, forests, crops), water management (both fresh and waste), biodiversity preservation, sustainable forest management, and the conscientious handling of operational waste.

Social

Within the social domain, health and safety, fair employment practices, human rights considerations, educational initiatives, talent attraction and development, diversity and inclusion efforts, employee engagement and retention strategies, philanthropy endeavours, and investments in community impact are focal points of concern for our stakeholders.

Governance

The governance landscape is shaped by our commitment to business ethics and transparency. Compliance with laws, regulations, and international treaties, anti-corruption and anti-bribery measures, robust data protection and cybersecurity protocols, well-defined management roles and responsibilities, fair director remuneration, and diligent risk management and business continuity planning are areas of paramount importance to our stakeholders.

Product

Le Nouveau Chef's products are made with high-quality materials, assuring long life and minimum replacements. The collection is built to sustain the requirements of any culinary environment. We are known not to compromise on product quality: our products are designed to meet the high standards of our customer and go through thorough testing. Innovation drives us to look for new materials, new technologies, and design that will enhance the functionality and aesthetic value of the collections. For example, we prioritize sourcing raw materials responsibly, using FSC-certified packaging, reconditioning, reuse, and recycling throughout the product's life cycle. 

At Le Nouveau Chef, stakeholder input is not a mere formality, it is the compass guiding us towards a more balanced future. Collaborate with us on this transformative journey as we redefine the landscape of hospitality wear.
