Strategy
The issues of sustainability and quality of the living environment are so intertwined that it makes no sense to address them separately. We combine these challenges and see them as an opportunity for innovations with great social added value. This makes it easier to come up with large-scale solutions for climate adaptation, energy transition and circular construction.
We are convinced that with our diverse portfolio of projects, our mix of activities in the four home markets and our base of many small projects, we can make a major contribution to society. To further improve performance in our markets, we are focusing on four strategic priorities, as outlined below. In addition to these core priorities, risk management and governance are central to our strategy.
1. Client-oriented business model

Risk Management & Governance
VolkerWessels' risk management and governance processes ensure that the companies take a disciplined approach to executing projects based on careful budgeting and project selection.

In this regard, contract management is an increasingly important part of our success.
