Heijmans focuses on making a positive contribution to society as a whole. Our value creation model provides insight into how we use raw materials and other capital to add sustainable long-term value by producing goods and services. The value creation model can be interpreted as follows:
-
Business model and strategy
Our main priority is to operationalise our mission: ‘Creators of the healthy living environment’. We give substance to this mission with the realisation of our strategy. Our strategy has three pillars: better, smarter and more sustainable. We do this via our organisation based on our DNA: result-focus, ownership and collaboration. And we take into account a number of significant trends and developments that affect our business model, such as the energy transition and mobility and housing needs. -
Input
The input of the value creation model consists of everything we need to initiate value creation. This ranges from the buildings we are housed in, to the brainpower and manpower we need to realise our products and services. -
Output
The output consists of our results, or our tangible products and services. These include obvious products such as our homes or roads, but also less tangible contributions such as those to knowledge development in the industry or our contribution to the integrated chain.
-
Impact
Ultimately, Heijmans’ output has an impact on a number of social issues. Using a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) impact analysis, we have determined which of the 169 sub-goals we have the most impact on. See also appendix 20.6.11 for this. This involves the following sub-goals: -
-
Affordable and sustainable energy
-
Honest work and economic growth
-
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
-
Sustainable cities and communities
-
Responsible consumption and production
-
Over the past few years, we have formulated performance indicators for various non-financial ambitions. Those ambitions can be linked to the SDG targets. We use these performance indicators to measure the current status of our value creation, but also our impact on society. Our main positive impact consists of creating buildings to live and work in, facilitating mobility and realising facilities to mitigate climate change (such as dykes and water storage). Our main negative impact consists of emissions (such as CO₂ and nitrogen), resource consumption and waste. In the overview of performance indicators, in Appendix 20.6.5, we show how this relates to the goals in our strategy, to our material topics and to the SDGs we have selected. In doing so, we also indicate what impact we are creating in society, for example in the context of climate change.
