We are pleased to announce that Sit & Heat has received the Inclusive Entrepreneur quality mark from WerkBedrijf Rijk van Nijmegen. This prestigious quality mark was awarded by alderman John Brom during the annual drinks party of the Inclusive Entrepreneurs Network (ION) on 11 June. We are one of the six proud recipients of this award, alongside ROC Nijmegen, Maak24, Het Theezaakje, EQUANS and Road2Work@Dar.

Why Sit & Heat has been awarded
At Sit & Heat, we are proud of our inclusive policies and the positive impact we have on the labour market. Our company distinguishes itself by providing employment opportunities for people with a vulnerable position in the labour market. In our in-house workshop, our heated cushions are produced by a diverse team of talented craftspeople, including (ex) status holders from countries such as Syria and Afghanistan. These employees bring valuable skills in the ready-to-wear profession and contribute to the high-quality production of our products.

Diversity and culture at Sit & Heat
One of the best aspects of our company is the diversity and cultural cohesion within our team. The merging of different cultures and backgrounds has created a rich and dynamic working environment where everyone can learn and grow from each other. This cross-cultural collaboration not only enhances the quality of our work, but also the cohesion and understanding within our team.
About the Inclusive Entrepreneur label
The Inclusive Entrepreneur hallmark recognises companies that are committed to an inclusive labour market. The label is awarded to companies that create job opportunities for people with a vulnerable position in the labour market and actively contribute to diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace.
Future plans
At Sit & Heat, we remain committed to inclusiveness and diversity. We are determined to continue our efforts and create new opportunities for people who need a helping hand to find their place in the labour market. We are grateful for this recognition and look forward to continuing our mission.
Together, we are working towards an inclusive future!
On behalf of the entire Sit & Heat team we would like to thank everyone for their continued support and confidence in our company. We are proud of what we have achieved together and look forward to a future full of inclusive growth and cooperation.
