On October 11, AmCham, in collaboration with Dow and Global Compact Network Netherlands, offered its Young Professionals an unique opportunity to visit Dow in Terneuzen.
The event kicked off with a special line up of speakers: Anton van Beek, Group President UK, Nordic and Benelux / Chairman of the Board of Dow Benelux, Andrea de las Heras Garcia, Business Development, Sustainability & Growth Manager - Benelux, Nordics, UK at Dow and Sandra Pellegrom, SDG Coordinator for the Netherlands at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Dow shared but also showed their journey towards sustainability. Under the guidance of Kees Biesheuvel, the YPs visited the Industrial Park and a wetlands sustainability pilot in which Dow is involved. Later on the day, Monica Pascual from Global Compact Network Netherlands, together with Iris van Wanrooij from EMMA Safety Footwear, facilitated a workshop on how companies can collaborate with different stakeholders to transform conventional business models into sustainable business models and create long term value.
