Major food players DSM and Unilever, dairy manufacturer FrieslandCampina and beverage giant Heineken form part of the Dutch Sustainable Growth Coalition (DSGC) set up to drive and promote sustainable growth in industry.

The alliance is facilitated by Ernst & Young and has the support of the Dutch Employers Federation VNO-NCW.

 

The DSGC has identified a challenging environment whereby companies need to create innovative solutions to adjust to a burgeoning population, increased production and consumption, scarce resources and climate change.

 

It is focused on sharing values and strategies among international and local business communities, governments, consumers, investors as well as Universities and NGO’s.

 

The alliance has also pledged to stimulate debates and policy recommendations connected to sustainable business growth.
