Case Study: Renewi achieves a unified, multilingual workforce with Valo Intranet

Renewi Intranet solution unites multi-national workforce

Renewi, the waste‑to‑product company formed by the 2017 merger of Shanks and Van Gansewinkel, needed a multilingual, cloud‑based intranet to unite more than 8,000 employees across 200 sites in nine countries and nine languages. They selected Valo and its Valo Intranet (built on SharePoint/Office 365) to replace a basic legacy portal and provide a future‑proof, on‑brand platform that could publish local news in employees’ native languages and support post‑merger internal communication.

Valo, deployed and configured by premium partner Advantive, delivered a fully branded Valo Intranet (Cendela UI) with regional landing pages, localized news publishing, blogs, templates, alerts, events and a native mobile app for secure access. The solution enabled easier cross‑region collaboration, boosted productivity and helped create a cohesive company identity—now serving Renewi’s 8,000+ employees across 200 sites in nine countries with tailored content in nine languages.
