Workers Memorial Day

Today is Workers Memorial Day. A day where we take a moment to think about colleagues and workers around the world who lost their lives on the job or due to work related illness.

Within the Port of Rotterdam and of course also at RST it is a yearly custom to use our cranes and equipment to salute those who are no longer with us.

 

Besides the importance of remembering those who we lost, today is also about the future. This day even so importantly renews our focus on what is important to us as a company and as colleagues within that organisation. Safety and corporate social responsibility towards colleagues and as an example visiting vessels and their crews is on our daily calendar and today reminds us why that is so important.

Every child deserves a chance at a bright future

“Every child deserves a chance at a bright future”
Partnership RST and Giovanni van Bronckhorst Foundation

Empowering children who lack opportunities so they can become ‘leaders of their own futures’. That is what the Giovanni van Bronckhorst Foundation (GvBF) is all about, and it is the main reason why RST has become a ‘friend’ of this foundation. In this article, Jacqueline Jonkhart (GvBF) and Jeroen Hooft (RST) share their views. “We want to build a sustainable relationship and provide a safety net of companies where they are welcome.”

It all started with Feyenoord legend Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Jacqueline explains: “GvBF was created to address the lack of opportunities for many children in Rotterdam. Giovanni, who experienced limited resources as a little boy, understands the importance of support and opportunities like no one else. He has always remained aware that it was not just his amazing talent, but also the people around him who provided him with the opportunity to build a bright future. So, for him and his wife, it was a no-brainer that every child deserves such a chance, and society must support these children. That is why they founded GvBF in 2012. The foundation helps children develop their potential and gain essential skills and confidence to achieve their goals.”
