A full coverage resuscitation network thanks to Entrepreneurial Venlo\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ondernemend Venlo is committed to a safe business climate by working towards a fully covering resuscitation network in the business parks. As part of this mission, after the purchase of an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator), Entrepreneurial Venlo covers the maintenance costs. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to move their AEDs outside, so that surrounding businesses and passers-by also have access in case of emergency. In addition, Ondernemend Venlo offers the possibility of jointly purchasing an AED or placing an additional device, further increasing accessibility and safety.<\/p>

In case of cardiac arrest, quick help is vital. Thanks to the cooperation with 'Heart for Venlo', help is almost always nearby on the business parks. More and more companies install their AEDs on the outside of their premises and ensure that the number of FAFS officers (civilian emergency response workers) continues to grow. 'Hart voor Venlo' is committed to increasing the chances of survival after a cardiac arrest in the region. \"We provide professional training for individuals, companies and agencies,\" says chairman Jacky van Aarssen. \"In addition, we strive to place as many AEDs as possible in accessible places in Venlo.\"<\/p>

Want to know more about this life-saving initiative? Visit\u00a0Heart for Venlo<\/a>\u00a0for more information. Financial support for the foundation is always welcome to continue this important work.<\/p>

Are you located on one of the business parks and would you like to participate in the collective of Ondernemend Venlo? Then contact the park manager. Together we can make Venlo safer!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

New signs have been placed on the access roads to all business parks covered by the Business Investment Zone 2021-2025. The unambiguous look of the welcome signs makes it clear at a glance that the various locations are part of Ondernemend Venlo. The variety of business parks might have given the impression that they are separately operating units. This uniform signage emphasises the cooperation .<\/p>

Apart from improved accessibility, these welcome signs should also reduce search efforts. This leads to fewer traffic movements and thus fewer CO2 emissions. The refurbished columns are more sustainable and Cradle to Cradle certified: the materials can be recycled after use. Production and installation was provided by AGMI Traffic & Lightning, one of our own entrepreneurs.<\/p>

Entrepreneurial Venlo department Noorderpoort additionally has its own signage with advertising opportunities. Maintenance, sign replacement and advertising are provided by City Outdoor Signs. Every year, this signage is cleaned by La Oya Dagbesteding as part of social and community involvement.<\/p>

If you are interested in new or custom signage, feel free to contact us for the possibilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

More and more business associations of business parks are choosing a professional security party for collective camera surveillance. Since January 2020, Intergarde has been putting the camera project\u00a0Safe Venlo<\/a>\u00a0forth. Public area security in the business parks is organised collectively in the form of:<\/p>

- video surveillance via 360-degree cameras, operated from the video surveillance room.
- ANPR cameras, these record license plates of entering and exiting vehicles.
- night surveillance, on weekends and public holidays also daytime surveillance.<\/p>

Together with Stichting Parkmanagement Venlo, Vereniging Ondernemend Venlo, Ontwikkelbedrijf Greenport Venlo, the Municipality of Venlo and the Police, Veilig Venlo is active in guaranteeing safety on the business parks. There is structural consultation and this is permanently secured within the Keurmerk Veilig Ondernemen (KVO).<\/p><\/div><\/div>

About Safe Venlo
Safe Venlo is housed in the Safe Venlo Foundation where the executing contracting party is Intergarde BV. The foundation consists of representatives of the Vereniging Ondernemend Venlo and Ontwikkelbedrijf Greenport Venlo. The establishment of the Stichting Veilig Venlo guarantees the continuity of camera surveillance at the business parks for the next 10 years.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\nEntrepreneurs affiliated to Ondernemend Venlo want to become more sustainable.\n\nThey want an integrated approach on two sustainable themes:\n1) Energy and\n2) Coping with the effects of Climate Change on the business park.\n\nThe aim of the project is to have demonstrated the added value of collective, integral sustainability at the level of business parks. Collectivity makes a significant contribution to sustainable energy production, efficiency and savings. Through the 'Demonstrations in Practice', we show that the approach works. The new concept is being tested and refined. This allows the concept to be copied to other business parks. Project partners are Ondernemend Venlo (OV), the Limburg Employers Association (LWV), Rabobank Venlo e.o. and the Municipality of Venlo.\n\n<\/div>\nMore information on the project and the sub-projects realised below can be found at\u00a0www.duurzamebedrijventerreinen.eu<\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Stichting Parkmanagement Venlo has cooperated with Energie Makelaar for several years now for the collective purchase of gas and electricity. Companies affiliated to Ondernemend Venlo can take advantage of this favourable agreement and make nice savings on their energy costs.<\/p>

When buying gas and electricity for entrepreneurs, the following three key aspects are considered:<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Competitive selection of a reliable supplier for up to 3 years. This makes use of the collective purchasing power of the participants, which is enhanced by the purchasing power that Energie Makelaar has in the Netherlands by performing these services for a large number of parties.<\/li>
  2. Price contracting explicitly takes into account responsible spreading of risks due to strong price fluctuations. This avoids large price differences between year 1 and year 2, while taking advantage of (usually temporary) low market prices. Timing is of obvious importance.<\/li>
  3. In addition to purchasing, periodic checks are carried out at individual level to see whether cost savings can be made on the connection and\/or transport of energy (costs Stedin\/Enexis) as well as on energy taxes. There is also the possibility of having energy invoices checked by Energy Broker.<\/li><\/ol>
