De Vereniging van Beleggers voor Duurzame Ontwikkeling (VBDO) Information

- MISSION - As an independent association, we have been a passionate driver, motivator, and thought leader for responsible investment and for embedding sustainability in companies since 1995. With respect and expertise, we help organizations make choices that look beyond financial gain, but also take social, environmental and governmental aspects into consideration. - ACTIVITIES - Progress through knowledge sharing is central to VBDO. We give substance to our mission by publishing benchmarks and thematic studies, organizing round tables and seminars and asking the right, critical questions at shareholders' meetings. We prefer doing this in collaboration with other stakeholders. Our members include institutional and private investors, as well as a number of leading NGOs. We represent more than 80% of the capital invested by Dutch investors and are seen as an important and respected discussion partner for the media and politics, among others.
