Our leadership
Dekker Zevenhuizen is governed by an Executive Management and a Supervisory Board (RvC). They operate within a management cycle where opportunities and risks for business operations are identified, analysed, and managed.
Every two years, the management presents this risk analysis to the Supervisory Board and elaborates it into a strategic multi-year plan. Based on this, annual plans are developed that formulate specific objectives and actions to achieve strategic goals. CSR is integral to this cycle, including quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety policies.
A confidential advisor is available to all employees. In addition to the employee advisor, the management is accessible to all stakeholders. A whistleblowing policy, facilitating the reporting of unethical behavior or misconduct within the company, is included in the employee handbook.

Family Charter of Dekker
The family values are deeply rooted within the organisation. To maintain this, a Family Charter has been established. It includes the following:
Our primary objective is continuity. Our behavior towards customers, suppliers, and employees is open, friendly, and solution-oriented. We are always cost-conscious, in good times and bad.
Dekker takes responsibility for the care of its employees. We reward fairly and provide opportunities for employees to develop to their full potential. We expect our employees to contribute to the continuous improvement and innovation of our products, activities, and organization. The personal commitment and dedication of our employees are what make customers feel at home with Dekker.
The family is present in the board of the Dutch Trust Administration Foundation (STAK). This foundation guides the family values of the company.
Governing bodies
The three bodies, Executive Management, Supervisory Board, and STAK, balance each other in terms of execution, oversight, decision-making, and responsibilities for the company Dekker. Members of these bodies endorse the principles outlined in Dekker's Family Charter.
