Making a Positive Impact is a Priority
Growth is always our goal. But growth feels much better when you achieve it together with those around you. That’s why we take corporate social responsibility very seriously. We consider and give back to the people around us, especially where it’s needed most.
We support initiatives daily that align with our core values.
Guts
We have the Guts to act when others do not
Energy
We invest our energy in what we find important
Connection
We enjoy working together and always seek connection
For an Inclusive Labour Market
You can see this in our talent and leadership development program, as well as in our diversity policy. At JEX, everyone is important and equal; we make no distinctions. We have diversity networks for different groups, from LGBTQI+ to Muslims and Christians.
Want to swap an official holiday like Easter for a day off for the Sugar Festival? That’s possible. Need spiritual rest? We have a prayer room. Want to do something for others? Our employees receive a volunteer day, which they can use to help others. Prefer to give money? That’s also possible; we support various initiatives that employees can contribute to.
Partnerships
In addition to running our own JEX Foundation, we collaborate with various organisations. With only one goal: to help where we can.
Excelsior Foundation
JEX and Excelsior are working closely together to develop talent in youth and boost women’s football. We have a programme in which sports, social skills and inspiration come together.
JINC
JINC is a foundation that is committed to bringing children from socio-economically weak neighborhoods into contact with the business community. This allows them to see how the world works and what their own talents and qualities are.
The Social Handshake
JEX collaborates with and participates in The Social Handshake. This organization makes it possible for employees to easily support charities through their gross salary, with a tax benefit.

Rotterdamse Douwers
The Rotterdamse Douwers Foundation helps young people who are having difficulty realizing their ambitions. They do this by linking them to a mentor from the business community who helps develop their talents.
MBO Rijnland
JEX organises an annual event for MBO Rijnland, a school in the Netherlands that provides vocational education. With this initiative, JEX helps to inspire young people who are starting their educational paths. And students get a taste of how things work in the business world.
Collaborations
In addition to our ongoing partnerships we also love making a social difference with occasional projects.
