    natural capital management

    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.
