1. International diversity;
2. Fair, performance-related remuneration;
3. Professional teamwork to serve the customer;
4. Personal willingness to learn;
5. Leadership and respect for the individual employee.

These values are also fundamental to our recruitment, training and development programmes.

Our entire curriculum of training courses and personal development support was reviewed in 2005 to bring it into line with the needs of the global markets in which we operate. The goal is to ensure that Bekaert is able to acquire and exchange knowledge faster in the future.

“better together isn’t just about putting yourself in the customer’s place. It’s about thinking in terms of the customer’s operations. I’m in no doubt that both the customer and Bekaert will benefit.”

Marc Vandecasteele, Group Executive Vice President.
