What about Feyenoord’s CSR strategy?

Feyenoord is a club for young and old alike. For natives and immigrants. From highly educated to illiterate. Feyenoord is the club that does not discriminate. It is accessible for everyone.

An open club and an open stadium. With an eye for social issues and a focus on young people. With the role models and the brand’s power of communication as effective means. Its ambition is a healthy, sporty and responsible lifestyle, at the centre of the community. The social policy is an exponent of the club policy and vice versa. It is structurally embedded within all levels of the organisation; broad-based and anchored in the actions of employees at all levels.

Achieve real results. Not words but deeds. Perform through cooperation. Hand in Hand.

Focus on everyone, but especially on young people. Set your sights on the future; respect the past Rotterdam-Zuid as the starting point of it all. A world club with a Rotterdam mentality.
