A diverse, inclusive workplace
Everyone is welcome at Exact. Our workforce consists of 2,000 ambitious professionals representing 50 different nationalities along with many cultures and religions. We also stand out in terms of our knowledge and experience. In fact, every Exact team member has a unique character. And we're proud of this, because diversity leads to creativity, and differences make us stronger. With our 'Welcome Everyone Manifesto', we convey that we embrace diversity and how we make it happen.
Our way of working is based on six core values that form the starting point for what we do day in, day out. This is how we strive to provide a challenging and inspiring work environment where employees can be the best version of themselves and feel encouraged to develop further. Exact offers every employee equal opportunities and rewards, regardless of personal preferences, backgrounds or convictions. No form of discrimination or harassment is tolerated to help us create an inclusive environment – one where working is enjoyable.
A responsible partner
We also want to be a reliable partner for our customers, suppliers and partners. At Exact, we comply with the standards set out in our Code of Conduct. By following standards, values, laws and regulations, we ensure not only that we are providing the best service, but are working in an ethical, appropriate and legal manner. Everyone who works for Exact is obliged to meet their responsibilities with professional integrity, taking into account the interests of Exact and those of our customers, suppliers and partners, in accordance with our compliance policy.
Sustainability in our business
We think green in everything we do. While this includes small measures such as reducing the paper flow in our offices, separating waste and providing lighting with motion sensors, we also like to go the extra mile at Exact. That's why we are committed to CO2 emissions targets. In this case, less is more. To achieve our goals, we travel as little as possible by air, we've electrified our fleet, and we've installed solar panels on the roof of our headquarters in Delft.
We also encourage our partners, suppliers and customers to go green. Through our smart software solutions, we inspire them to adopt more digital workflows and achieve their sustainability goals. By programming more efficiently, we can, for example, reduce the pressure on data centres via our software and save energy. And with 675,000 customers, we can make a genuine difference. Here's to a green supply chain!

Gardening for soup kitchen homeless shelter
“Stichting Groengoed does an excellent job by growing fruit, vegetables and herbs in their gardens in the city center of Rotterdam. Growing all those fresh products is a lot of work. We were happy to help them by removing weeds, spreading compost and watering plants. Thanks to Stichting Groengoed people living in poverty as well as homeless people, have access to a decent meal.”
If everyone contributes with cleaning up the plastic, our planet will benefit!"
Cleaning beaches all around the world
“Cleaning up the beach is very valuable. Not only because a clean beach is much more attractive, but the trash is also dangerous for animals like birds as they mistake it for food. Together with my teammates I cleaned the beach in Malaysia, close to our office in Kuala Lumpur. Other colleagues of Exact did the same on beaches in the Netherlands and Spain. It is super easy and if everyone contributes, our planet will benefit!”

We are very proud that we were able to contribute.”
