Strengths analysis
The VanDrie SWOT
The VanDrie Group plays an important role in the European veal chain and food supply. When performing our regular activities and implementing our strategy, we must deal with various challenges. It is important to identify the internal and external factors that affect our company, so that we can exploit opportunities and minimise threats.
Strengths | Weaknesses | Opportunities | Threats |
Integral chain management | High environmental impact | Apply smart technology and innovation | Changing legislation with insufficient long-term vision (both in NL and the EU) |
Commitment to maximum value | Relatively high level of hired-in employees | Global demand for animal proteins is increasing | Long-term sustainability of the entire chain, among other reasons due to required climate transition |
