Case |Noordhoff Publishers

The challenge

Noordhoff Publishers has been contributing to children’s futures for the past 175 years, by developing professional teaching materials. To achieve a good future for new generations, with sustainability in the broadest sense of the word, they asked us for help in making sustainability an integral part of their policy.

Our contribution

A member of our staff worked with Noordhoff to define their goal for climate-neutral business practice, in line with their vision and mission. We helped them to bring the formulation of the goal in line with the SMART criteria, including clear emission reduction targets, which led to a high degree of clarity about the next steps to be taken.

The result

Noordhoff now has an integrated sustainability strategy, which they have begun to implement. On the basis of this goal, they decided to work on raising awareness among their staff, while at the same time taking measures to increase the sustainability of the organization. This has led to diverse measures and, finally, to a climate-neutral company.

A word from Noordhoff

“Thanks in part to the coach from Climate Neutral Group, our ambitions for sustainable business practices were translated into a clear plan of approach, which paid off.”
