Fast Lane Benelux is proud to hold the PSO (Prestatieladder Socialer Ondernemen) certification, a recognized standard for organizations that actively contribute to inclusive employment and social impact.
The PSO, developed by TNO, is an independent and scientifically based certification that measures the extent to which organizations create employment opportunities for people who face barriers to the labor market. It provides objective insight into an organization's commitment to social entrepreneurship and sustainable employability.
What is the PSO Certification?
The Prestatieladder Socialer Ondernemen (PSO) is the leading Dutch certification for socially responsible employers. It recognizes organizations that make an above-average contribution to creating employment opportunities for individuals with a distance to the labor market.
The PSO certification makes social impact measurable, transparent, and independently verifiable. It demonstrates an organization's commitment to building a more inclusive workforce while helping businesses integrate social value into their operations.
At Fast Lane, this aligns perfectly with our mission of helping people build sustainable careers in technology, regardless of their background, education, or previous work experience.
