People, Planet, Profit

Sustainability means more than reducing impact. At Lankhorst, we create value for people, the planet and business by designing circular products and building responsible, long-term partnerships.

Balancing people, planet and profit

Sustainability is not a concept, it’s how we operate. By combining social responsibility, environmental care and economic performance, we create lasting impact at every level.

  • People - inclusive, responsible
  • Planet - circular, low-impact
  • Profit - durable, efficient

People

Sustainability starts with people. We believe in creating a workplace where everyone can contribute, grow and feel valued, including people who may face barriers to employment. Our long-standing collaboration with social enterprise Empatec shows how social inclusion and operational excellence can reinforce each other.

Corporate responsibility is not an initiative but a mindset. We focus on equal opportunities, safe working conditions and meaningful collaboration with our teams and partners. It means creating an environment where everyone is seen, heard and given the opportunity to thrive. Social responsibility is not something we add to our business, it is an integral part of who we are, shaping the way we work, connect and grow together.

Planet

Designing for the planet means creating products that last, reduce waste and minimise environmental impact. At Lankhorst, we give plastic waste a second life by transforming it into high-quality, reusable applications. Our KLP® solutions are a proven example of how circular thinking creates long-term environmental value.

We prioritise local sourcing to reduce transport emissions, avoid harmful additives in our production process and ensure safety for people, animals and nature. Our products are built to last and remain fully recyclable even after decades of use – avoiding waste, incineration and the need for new raw materials.

By applying circular design principles across our operations, we help preserve natural resources, reduce CO₂ emissions and contribute to a cleaner, more responsible future.

Profit

Sustainability must go hand in hand with long-term value. That’s why we develop solutions that are built to last, require minimal maintenance and deliver reliable performance throughout their lifecycle. With KLP® solutions as a proven example, we show how sustainability and financial return can reinforce each other.

Our solutions are produced through a tightly controlled process, using a carefully balanced mix of recycled plastics to ensure consistent quality. Each part is tested for strength, elasticity, impact resistance and dimensional stability, and meets international quality standards.

KLP® solutions are resistant to moisture, rot and harsh weather. They retain their shape and colour, are splinter-free and safe to use – even after decades. The result: lower maintenance, fewer disruptions and a lower total cost of ownership.
