In their aim to get the right man at the right place they use a tool called The ProfilesXT Process. It provides us with online access to a simple survey form consisting of questions about the position.

A quick, accurate compatibility assessment is obtained for each employee. Every Management member and team leader has done this assessment to be sure we have not only the right skills but also the right personal skills at the right place. 5. Environment At, we recognise the importance of conducting our operations in an environmentally responsible manner. In 2007 was with the first companies to make E-invoices. This was the first step to a more paperless company. We have two major projects were we want to minimise our ecological footprint. First one is improving the digitization of the process of inspections. Second one is the control on CO2 emission of the fleet of our inspectors Inspections Already a few years ago made the first step in digitization by developing its Web Service, the Manager. In 2009 we introduced the Tablet PC, responsible for efficiency and paperless work Web Services Every customer or customer of our customer can use our on line tool the Manager. The Manager allows the customer and the customers customer to: - Receive all inspections online and not on paper. made inspections in This tool saves between and pages. - Use the link off the inspection to E-invoice the customer and the customers customer Tablet PC The Table PC allows the inspector to immediately digitize the file and put it online. This not only efficient in cost and time, but also saves a lot of paper.

We have attacked this problem and reduced the CO2 pollution in a dramatic way and will keep on doing that Choice of cars All cars have been replaced by newer and ecologically better performing cars.

8 Projects All inspectors will have Track &Trace systems in their vehicles starting This should enable us to plan more accurate; This will save time, but also mileage on the cars. Besides cars we will also investigate the possibility on alternative transport. In France we are testing scooters for city use. Besides the environmental impact, it is also very efficient and motivating for our inspectors.
