The Hague, November 13, 2023 – In a tweet posted today, November 13, 2023, from the official Twitter account of the Minister-President of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte (@MinPres), he discussed the pivotal role of businesses in addressing societal challenges, particularly in the context of climate change and advancing the circular economy.
The Minister-President, along with colleagues from the cabinet, engaged in a productive meeting with the Dutch Sustainable Growth Coalition (@DSGCoalition) at the Catshuis. This coalition, led by Rutte’s predecessor @jpbalkenende, brings together CEOs of major Dutch companies to collaborate on sustainable growth initiatives.
During the discussion, which also involved @IngridThijssen from @VNONCW, Rutte explored how the government and businesses can join forces on critical issues. The focus was on sharing concrete examples and best practices for reducing CO₂ emissions throughout the entire economic chain, from production to transportation and sales.
Mark Rutte’s tweet reads: “Bij de aanpak van maatschappelijke vraagstukken spelen bedrijven een belangrijke rol. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan klimaatverandering en het versterken van de circulaire economie. Vanochtend sprak ik samen met collega’s uit het kabinet met @DSGCoalition op het Catshuis.” (*)
