P. van der Kooij Groep Takes a Major Step Towards Sustainability

At P. van der Kooij Groep, we believe that the future of transport, storage, and gravel processing must be sustainable. That is why we have recently made significant investments in greening our business premises in Schiedam. With the installation of solar panels, charging stations, and battery energy storage, we are taking an important step towards CO₂-neutral operations.

Solar Panels: Energy from Our Own Roof

Our roofs are now fully equipped with hundreds of solar panels that annually generate a large portion of our energy consumption. The generated solar power is directly used for our business processes — from office lighting to powering machinery in gravel recycling and tank storage. We intelligently store surplus energy in batteries or feed it back into the grid.

Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles

Several charging stations have been installed on the premises, allowing both our own fleet and visitors to charge their electric vehicles. This way, we stimulate the transition to emission-free transport, a key focus within our sustainability strategy.

Batteries for Energy Storage

To make optimal use of our solar energy, we have installed a battery system. This allows us to store generated energy and deploy it when the sun is not shining. This makes us less dependent on the electricity grid and ensures a stable, sustainable energy supply — day and night.

Future-Proof Operations

For us, sustainability is not a side issue, but an integral part of our identity. By investing in clean energy and smart technology, we continue to build a future-proof family business ready for the next generation.

At P. van der Kooij Groep, we work daily on efficiency, innovation, and responsibility — for our customers, our employees, and the environment.
