... and those that will



Now, that took some time. But we are back. With the Constructive Commodity Coalition. Having dinner with former Minister of Development Cooperation Bert Koenders, Joost Oorthuizen and Ted van der Put of IDH (http://www.dutchsustainabletrade.com/en/home)and the sustainability chiefs of RABO and AKZO: Ruud Nijs and André Veneman. My proposal was to start a Coalition around all critical commodities and issues in stead of handling every product and/or issue one at the time. And now we are going to make it happen. With more companies, NGOs and the government. That is at least one good start of a new Dutch government!
