    reconnecting nature

    Milgro's mission is the integration of natural capital management into the business operations of organizations. With this integration, we accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy.

    duurzaamheid-afval-icoon

    optimum use of natural resources

    Understanding the use and consumption of natural resources provides tools to extend the lifespan of raw materials.

    grondstofrotonde-icoon

    counteracting earth exhaustion

    The current economy is linear: only 8% of all used raw materials have an inbound movement. Our approach accelerates the transition to circularity.

    duurzame winstgevendheid

    aiming for sustainable profitability

    Milgro aims for profitable sustainability in its collaborations and considers this as the basis for a sustainable profitability. Earth & earn together.

     

    earth overshoot day

    Each year, we use more resources than the earth can regenerate. This becomes visible on Earth Overshoot Day: this marks the date when we are 'in the red' with our demand for resources. By now, Earth Overshoot Day is in August – and each year we are living on credit even earlier (for the Netherlands as early as May). With the right approach we may make this trend turn out right, restoring Mother Earth's balance.

    sustainable development goals

    Sustainable development goals

    Milgro supports the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Seventeen goals to make the world a better place by 2030.
    #12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

    Our service support the significant reduction of waste production by prevention, recycling, and reuse.
    #14 Sustainable use of the oceans

    By encouraging circularity, or extending the lifespan of natural resources, waste is reduced, and seas and oceans remain clean.
    #15 Protect biodiversity

    Managing natural capital ensures sustainable use, supervision and restoration of ecosystems and protects biodiversity.

    innovation

    closing materials cycles

    Knowledge (sharing) is essential for the promotion of a circular economy. Together with TU Delft, Milgro initiated the Sustainable Resources Management Knowledge Platform (Kennisplatform Duurzaam Grondstoffenbeheer).

    collaboration within the chain

    Extending the lifespan of natural resources one of Milgro's main goals. We collaborate with numerous partners to realize this goal.

    promoting an inclusive economy

    Milgro is member of MVO Nederland and is represented on the Board of Partners. Together, we promote an inclusive and 100% climate-neutral economy, with equal right for all.

    The New Economy Index (NEx)

    Only 12% of the Dutch economy is sustainable. This is the outcome of a large-scale study, commissioned by MVO Nederland.
