Michel Driessen in Opinion magazine Forum in conversation with a Greenpeace activist

What if an entrepreneur with sustainable ambitions talks to a Greenpeace activist? Is there understanding for their daily dilemmas, or are they mostly seen as excuses? Greenpeace Netherlands versus Verstegen Spices & Sauces: 'Will they find common ground?'

Greenpeace Netherlands versus Verstegen Spices & Sauces: two different parties, will they find common ground in the fight for a sustainable future? Our CEO Michel Driessen recently spoke with a Greenpeace activist. Discover how they share their perspectives and discuss dilemmas in the article.

Michel Driessen: "Verstegen is a family business with a different perspective. I hope the company will pass on to the next generation, perhaps to one of my children, with a clean slate. Other companies—especially listed ones—may have a different philosophy about the future. I'm also the sole shareholder of Verstegen. No one tells me I should just make more money. I can continue to focus on sustainability."
