Van Mossel publishes its 2024 Sustainability Report

Van Mossel proudly presents its 2024 Sustainability Report. The report provides transparency on our ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategy, progress and objectives to drive sustainability across our operations and value chain. With this report, Van Mossel takes another step toward fully aligning with European regulations and stakeholder expectations.

“Sustainability is a crucial issue for the future of us all. Caring for our planet and the generations to come is no longer a choice but a necessity. This is especially true in a family business like Van Mossel, where the next generation is actively involved, and sustainability plays an essential role. We recognise this responsibility in the broadest sense. With our sustainability policy, we strive for a sustainable future for the generations to come.”
— Eric Berkhof, CEO - Van Mossel Automotive Group
