Innovation, vision and strategy

	VANERUM Group is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of total learning environments. With its 40 years of experience, VANERUM is changing the way people teach and learn throughout the world with products that excel in making the bridge between tradition and technology and ergonomics. The market is approached as well through direct channels (separate business unit working under the VANERUM name) as well as distribution (separate business unit working under the VSV name). This specific model ensures the highest standards of service to customers and of the quality of products. The different market entrances also provide an extensive insight into the specific demands and goals of customers. For years we have consistently pursued new paths in design; for years we have been practicing fair, responsible partnership. Our ultimate goal is simple: to make the places where people study, present, communicate, teach and learn, as appealing, productive and healthy as possible and so achieving total customer satisfaction at all levels.

Social responsibility

	VANERUM Group is wholly committed to playing an active role in improving the world in which we live. Conscious of the needs of our social and natural environment and the role of the business world as a motor for change, we actively promote a policy of sustainable corporate development and support initiatives to benefit the community, and projects that bring access to new technologies closer to everyone. VANERUM Group is committed to respecting the natural environment and reducing the environmental impact of its activities. The company participates in environmental protection projects aimed at preserving natural resources for future generations. One specific aim pursued by VANERUM Group through its actions as a socially responsible company is to recognize and support the execution of projects that contribute to the use of new technologies and ergonomics with particular emphasis on children. We believe that new technologies and the care for ergonomics are a basic ingredient in the improvement of quality of education and of life. VANERUM Group also particularly supports MOBILE SCHOOL VZW. Mobile School, a non-profit organization, develops educational material, for outreach activities with street children on the streets.
