Entrepreneurship with a heart

In 1980, founder A.A. de Haan (1932-2012) expressed his concerns with the environment. “Environmental pollution is the burden that comes with the increase in wealth and should be stopped drastically. All ingenuity that we possess, and every percentage of economical growth should be used towards a solution for this problem.”
As a family business, we have a deep understanding of responsible entrepreneurship. It stimulates our commitment to public issues. Environment and sustainability, stewardship and good practices are solid values within our family traditions and among our employees. Hametha B.V. invests in the development of innovative concepts that prevent damage to the environment. We also invest in the sustainability of our activities now, and in the future. In addition, we support projects in poverty reduction and equal opportunity through our foundations.
