Gispen and Sportbedrijf Arnhem Expand Their Collaboration

On Monday, 16 September, Gispen and Sportbedrijf Arnhem signed a cooperation agreement. The two companies have been working together for some time to motivate children and adults in education to focus on their vitality and health.

By signing this cooperation agreement, Gispen and Sportbedrijf Arnhem show their continued commitment to building a sustainable and healthy future for both children and adults in education. Moreover, they contribute to an inclusive society where everyone has the space and opportunity to use their talents and actively participate.

At Gispen, people are at the heart of everything, and there is room for everyone. Diversity in people, backgrounds (including migration), talents, and abilities drives innovation and leads to better results, as each person brings a unique perspective to any given situation.

For us, inclusive business means encouraging everyone to be themselves at work, fostering a sense of shared engagement. Together, we create a working environment where vitality, job satisfaction, and employee development take priority. Inclusivity also means valuing and respecting each other for who we are and what we can achieve together.

“With this valued Arnhem partnership with Sportbedrijf Arnhem, our aim is to continue contributing to a sustainable and inclusive society.”
— Hans Haarman, Commercial Manager, Gispen

“Working together with enjoyment in movement, as sustainably and inclusively as possible, is the mission we pursue daily at Sportbedrijf Arnhem. But we can't do it alone, which is why our partnerships with organisations like Gispen Presikhaaf School Furniture are so important. Gispen Presikhaaf School Furniture demonstrates the power of diversity in practice and shows how valuable it is. We are proud to continue this partnership."
— Robert Jan Janssen, Director, Sportbedrijf Arnhem
