To combine forces
Participants agree that the ambition to make the area more sustainable can only be achieved if forces are joined
RAI Amsterdam is a proud participant of the Green Business Club Amsterdam Zuidas (GBC Zuidas). An impact organization in which 55 participants, companies, governments and knowledge institutions from Zuidas, work on making the area more sustainable and its own operations through the implementation of concrete projects. All participants agree that the ambition to make the area more sustainable can only be achieved if forces are joined.
Alderman Victor Everhardt during his speech: “Together we are strong. We inspire each other and work together. No matter how different we are in what we do, we share the ambition to make this area and our operations more sustainable. We do not stick to ambitions in the Zuidas, but we put our money where our mouth is. So that when you hear the word Zuidas, everyone will not only think of innovation and economic success but also think: there are companies and institutions that have taken responsibility for a cleaner, greener city. There the road to Paris, to that important goal, is paved and made reality. I look forward to the next 10 years in this collaboration, so that we can achieve our ambitions together."
