Understanding the use and consumption of natural resources provides tools to extend the lifespan of raw materials.
The current economy is linear: only 8% of all used raw materials have an inbound movement. Our approach accelerates the transition to circularity.
Milgro aims for profitable sustainability in its collaborations and considers this as the basis for a sustainable profitability. Earth & earn together.
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.
I joined the Board of Partners of MVO Nederland (CSR) in 2019. Together with other front runners within the Board, I can contribute to the organization-wide goal of MVO Nederland to realize the transition to a sustainable economy by 2025.

Knowledge (sharing) is essential for the promotion of a circular economy. Together with TU Delft, Milgro initiated the Sustainable Resources Management Knowledge Platform.
Extending the lifespan of natural resources one of Milgro's main goals. We collaborate with numerous partners to realize this goal.
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 2021 NEx report shows that 14.1% of the Dutch economy is sustainable. The Dutch economy has become more sustainable by two percentage points in the past year. 20% is the NEx goal for 2025.
