Geldmaat has voluntarily prepared and published its ESG report. With this report, Geldmaat aims to gain insight into its sustainability and social performance and work towards improvement. Because of its role as a central entity in the cash supply chain, it also benefits from insight into the performance of its partners. Geldmaat aims to inspire partners to further optimize performance within the chain.

The ESG reporting is prepared in accordance with the new VSME standard from EFRAG, responsible for developing European standards for sustainability reporting, among other things. Due to the Omnibus Directive, Geldmaat no longer falls within the scope of the CSRD and has opted to implement the voluntary standard for sustainability reporting. With this report, Geldmaat demonstrates that sustainability, social value, and transparency are firmly anchored in its strategy and business operations.

Victor de Wolff, CFO of Geldmaat, explains what the report means for Geldmaat. “We want to be transparent about our impact by demonstrating that ESG is not an afterthought, but an integral part of our strategy and daily practices. This report provides insight into the steps Geldmaat is taking to make its services more sustainable, how it contributes to a more inclusive society, and its commitment to responsible entrepreneurship.”

The report revised previous insights. "When you think of CO2 emissions in the supply chain, you immediately think of the armored trucks that use fuel, or our ATMs that run on electricity day and night. However, our analysis showed that most of the pollution occurs in another part of the supply chain, namely the production of ATMs. We don't have direct control over that ourselves, but we can discuss it with our suppliers."

Geldmaat worked closely with the ESG Boutique, a specialist consultancy firm in the field of ESG, to develop the ESG vision, strategy and reporting.

The full report is currently only available in Dutch.
