Award for DS Smith De Hoop

In June, DS Smith’s De Hoop Paper Mill won the Royal Netherlands Paper and Board Association (Royal VNP) Health and Safety Award, recognising their journey to ‘Vision Zero’.

The Royal VNP is part of CEPI, which represents almost 500 companies across Europe. During the Royal VNP’s annual Fibre Future Festival, DS Smith De Hoop were awarded the Occupational Health and Safety Cup.

The Royal VNP said, “The company shows impressive progress in the area of safe working and creates support for an ever-higher level of safety in both the management team and in the workplace.”

Over the past year DS Smith De Hoop has transformed its health and safety standards, which included more than twenty-five new initiatives, and training to a third of all its employees.

“We’re extremely proud of the work that’s been undertaken over the past year, and to receive such a high-profile award is perfect recognition for everybody’s efforts,” said Robert Jespers, Health and Safety Manager at De Hoop.
