Pillar 3: Social Capital

Community connection, more vital than ever.

We measure and improve our networks and relationships, enabling us to function more effectively as a company and as individuals. This results in better customer, market, and community insights, generating useful information, innovative ideas, and future opportunities.

Our ambition

Sioen wants to be an active member of society as a hole, of local communities and of business-related associations. Sioen wants to have an even greater customer, market, and community insights. Bonding, bridging, networking, the ways of social capital are various. We have always been a peoples’ company and we want to strengthen that.

Customer Centricity

Our customers are never alone in the driving seat. Our multidisciplinary team of experts are always by their sides. We design and produce technical textiles, technical apparel, and colouring solutions to fit their needs and support them in their choices.

Corporate citizenship

The impact we have on the local, national, and international economy. This includes creating employment, generating innovation, paying taxes, creating wealth, empowering local communities and any other economic impact.

Memberships, certificates and awards

We are set on being a member of professional associations that help us to integrate social and environmental compliance at the heart of our global supply chain. These memberships offer us continuous learning opportunities and the ability to stay up to date on changes within our sector. You'll find an entire dedicated section on this website.
