On thursday Februari 11th a new green-business lobby was launched in the Netherlands. In 'De Groene Zaak' ('the green business/cause') over 30 businesses join forces to speed up the transition towards a sustainable economy. Since we strongly believe such a transition is crucial, Qurrent is one of the co-founders.

Unique about 'De Groene Zaak' is the fact that in this association large corporations and SME's work together. What unites the first members is their ambition to speed up the transition towards a more sustainable economy. Large firms such as TNT, Eneco, Wessanen are joined by relative new commers such as Tendris, Enviu and Qurrent.
