Contributing together to a sustainable economy

Frisian Motors is affiliated with the largest sustainable business network in the Netherlands. The philosophy of CSR Netherlands perfectly matches the ideas of Frisian Motors. MVO Netherlands wants at least twenty percent of the Dutch economy to be in sustainable economy. Companies that run on more than financial values within the boundaries of nature and society. To measure progress, MVO has developed a New Economy Index (NEx). This index consists of seven themes: new wealth, circular economy, biodiversity, real prices, inclusive business, green energy, and transparent chains.

What does CSR Netherlands do

Business Network
As MVO Nederland, we are the hub of a network that has over 2,000 partners
, making us the largest network of sustainable businesses within Europe
. About 70% of this network consists of small and medium-sized enterprises,
while we also nurture cooperation with more than 150 large companies. We
span diverse sectors, including agrifood, chemicals, the built environment,
textiles and healthcare, each with their own specialized networks. These
sector networks not only stimulate mutual cooperation but also
actively seek connections with each other, in line with our mission as CSR Netherlands.

Projects
Regardless of project duration, CSR Netherlands is committed to researching and developing
innovations in collaboration
with network partners. The most effective initiatives are rolled out on a large scale,
while valuable lessons learned are shared. Many projects
are carried out with support from or on behalf of collaborative partners,
funders or ministries.

 

Voice in politics
Currently, too many laws and regulations still favor
companies that are part of the traditional economy. The public
affairs activities of MVO Nederland are aimed at making sustainable business more attractive and
easier.
