First the government and soon the business community!

First the government and soon the business community!

Yesterday, a nice first step was achieved as ministries, provinces, water boards and a number of municipalities signed the Manifesto Socially Responsible Contracting and Purchasing (MVOI) 2022-2025. In doing so, they pledged to account for social and environmental impacts in their purchasing practices. Governments can really make a difference here as they purchase 85 billion euros annually.

Still, the private sector is the biggest buyer along with Public-Private institutions with more than 400 billion euros per year spent on purchasing. That is why Alliance Coordinator SDG12 Responsible Consumption and Production Karin van IJsselmuide @Global Sustainable Enterprise System (GSES System) and @SDGNL are working together on a Manifesto Sustainable Procurement for companies so that soon SDG-proof procurement will be done by everyone!
Interested in joining? Sign up via DM’ing Judith Maas or Karin van IJsselmuide.

Data for Good is present on the Sustainable Week the 9th of July

Transparantie is alles. Ontdek de wondere wereld achter duurzaamheidsratings, meetinstrumenten en data als basis voor duurzame groei. Kelly Ruigrok gelooft dat iedereen het kan, als je maar wil en gelooft in jezelf.

Kelly Ruigrok (CEO van Data for Good en oprichter van Global Sustainable Enterprise System) gelooft boven alles in de kracht van kennis delen. Om te kunnen groeien in bedrijfsvoering en als samenleving hebben we inzicht nodig. Data, big data. Meten is weten, en op dat weten bouw je een nieuw systeem. Transparantie is daarbij de sleutel om écht door te kunnen pakken op weg naar de “nieuwe” economie en een toekomstbestendige wereld.

Tijdens het Duurzame Weekend 2021 vertelt zij over haar ervaring met open source dashboards en hoe de huidige datasystemen mensen, bedrijfsleven en overheden kunnen aanzetten tot echte verandering.

Data for Good is keynote speaker on Data & Climate conference

Data for Good is keynote speaker on Data & Climate conference

Beslissingen nemen vanuit een onderbuikgevoel, vermoeden, mening of intuïtie is niet meer van deze tijd. We werken aan een grote opgave: Nederland klimaatneutraal in 2050. Dat moet snel(ler) en efficiënt(er)! Datagedreven samenwerken maakt het mogelijk met meer inzicht en kennis gefundeerde beslissingen te nemen over bijvoorbeeld bestaand of nieuw klimaatbeleid, broeikasgasuitstoot, opslag van broeikasgas en hernieuwbare energie.

Op 28 oktober 2021 organiseren Euroforum en de provincie Gelderland het hybride congres Data & Klimaat. Een congres over datagedreven samenwerken om de klimaatdoelstellingen te halen. Het congres wordt georganiseerd met vertegenwoordigers van de EU, het Rijk, gemeente Arnhem, Wageningen University & Research, Hogeschool Arnhem Nijmegen, ROC Rijn IJssel en de netwerkorganisatie het Gelders Energie Akkoord. Samen doen zij een oproep aan overheden, bedrijfsleven, NGOs, consultants, wetenschappers en maatschappelijke initiatieven: bundel je krachten en kennis! Zet alvast in je agenda: 28 oktober 2021 Congres Data & Klimaat
