General Assembly Global Compact Network Netherlands H2
All members of the Global Compact Network Netherlands are invited to participate in this regular meeting which will take place on Thursday 1 December in Malietoren, The Hague from 14:00-16:00 CET.
This General Assembly is very important for the Global Compact Network Netherlands. While VNO-NCW supported the local network as a host organization, for the last years, Global Compact Netherlands will become operational independent reaching the highest level of maturity in line with the UNGC quality standards. During this General Assembly, we will present the new organizational structure, the results achieved in 2022, and our priorities for 2023.
We are proud to announce our guest speakers: Prince Jaime de Bourbon de Parme (Ministry of Economy and Climate, the Netherlands) , Wineke Haagsma (PwC) and Aniek Moonen (Jonge Klimaatbeweging) who will reflect on the key takeaways from COP27 and its role for the Dutch business community.
