WDP

Impact reporting for Europe’s most ambitious warehouse developer

WDP is a pan-European Belgian company that develops, builds, and leases warehouses and, as such, is one of the biggest companies in this business. The company has warehouses and distribution centers in six European countries. CF reporting provides the reporting framework and the design of an extensive report in three languages, including the online environment with highlights from the report, project management, and quality control. In this case, use is made of the tool Fluence (formerly Sturnis) in combination with Wordsflow.

Strategy

A home for the supply chain

WDP is a link in the logistic value chain and regards its lessees more as partners than as users. Providing information to stakeholders is therefore more than crucial for them. As WDP services a broad stakeholder group, the information in its annual report is extensive and detailed. The WDP story: ‘a home for the supply chain’ and the value that WDP creates for its stakeholders is specified in four value pillars Sustainable growth, Future logistics, Vitally engaged, and Impact by responsibility. In addition to providing insight into financial information and ESG impacts, the sections also provide detailed real estate information. By providing information on real estate projects per country, stakeholders are given better and deeper insight into the results and property values.
