  • Our people

    Characteristics of the employees

    Below are the number of employees, hires and turnover rate.

    KPI2022

    FTE 169
    Hires (headcount) 26

    Female 28
    Turnover (%) 7.5


    * The following has been added and/or changed compared to the 2021 Sustainability Report:

    • Hires include employees on temporary contracts, as these are considered employees and have therefore been added to the figures.
    • 2022 turnover includes solely voluntary leavers. We changed our approach as voluntary turnover is a more meaningful figure to understand employee retention.
    • 2 of the 5 retirees partly returned to employment at HMBV.

  • Supplier environment & social assessment

    HMBV attaches great importance to the sustainability of its suppliers. For this reason, a self-assessment form has been developed to determine the sustainability of its suppliers. This is in order to reach the target of '60% self-assessment or audit of suppliers by 2030'. Currently, 22% of critical suppliers have completed the self-assessment form. HMBV aims to increase this percentage to 100% by the end of 2023. Over time, HMBV will also support its suppliers to register with EcoVadis.

    Sustainable procurement

    Our current sustainability procurement rate is 25%. 

    Target

    Increase the sustainability procurement rate to 60% by 2030
