Engaged with the community
Engaged with the community
Since its founding, Nedlin has shown a strong commitment to the community. For and with our employees, we contribute to the economic and social well-being of our surroundings. We provide jobs to over 400 people: each one a go-getter and perseverer, and a reflection of society.
As a B Corp, we are assessed on our positive impact both inside and outside the company. This includes aspects such as inclusion and diversity, social engagement, and philanthropy. We contribute to these areas through employee-driven sponsorships, the creation of Tiny Forests, and our involvement with UWC Maastricht.
Tiny Forests
A Tiny Forest is a dense, native forest the size of a tennis court. This forest is not only a pleasant habitat for butterflies, birds, bees, and small mammals, but also for people. Children learn about Dutch nature in the outdoor classroom, and local residents meet in a pleasant and healthy environment.

Sponsoring
UWC is an international education organization that uses education as a force for a peaceful and sustainable world. Under the motto 'Celebrate the Differences,' students of various nationalities, ages, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds attend one of the 18 UWC schools worldwide.
Nedlin also strives to contribute to a better world. That's why Nedlin has been sponsoring UWC Maastricht since 2017. Thanks in part to this financial support, students from low-income backgrounds or from (post)conflict and refugee areas receive partial or full scholarships.
