Steering to a better future
Impact, a word that resembles the core of Noorderwind as we strive to be a net-positive ecological and social business. So, what sort of impact do we want to work towards? We only help speed up innovations that actively contribute to one of these transition horizons we identified, based on combining different sustainability strategies like:
- circular economy
- roadmap to next society
- sustainable development goals
- cradle to cradle
- club of Rome
- social entrepreneurship
- donut economy
We help businesses innovate through (open) innovation projects
We invest our time, expertise, network and energy in creating projects that help businesses create net positive ecological, social and financial impact.
Because we think simply sustaining the status quo is not enough any more.
