Thank you Stromma!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the incredible evening on the Amsterdam canals with Stromma and the Young Professionals network! The highlight of the evening was Stromma’s inspiring presentation about its sustainability strategy. As the city of Amsterdam has the goal to only have zero-emission vessels in 2025, a committed sustainability strategy from Stromma is necessary. We got to learn about both their motivation, challenges, and solutions from CEO Carola Hoekstra, and project manager Floris de Vroe.
The next Young Professionals event will take place on October 12, where we will learn about and discuss Swedish-Dutch business culture together with Vattenfall. Read more and sign up !
