Jos Baars Manager

Personal quote / vision

Our current system is raping our environment and only by radically rethinking growth, welfare and prosperity do we have a chance to turn the tide. I support companies in analyzing their impacts on the environment and society and give advice on how to reduce the negative impact and increase their positive impact. Organizations that still want to add value in this new reality need a new perspective on what constitutes a successful business strategy.
