Climate change makes children in poverty more vulnerable than ever

The consequences are severe: 

• Food insecurity: agriculture production is disrupted, resulting in families not being able to feed their children; 
• Water crisis: many families don’t have access to clean drinking water, and contaminated water sources contribute to the spread of diseases; 
• Migration and displacement: houses and infrastructure get destroyed and land degrades, making many areas uninhabitable and displacing families. 

Our environmental ambitions
We are committed to taking our corporate social responsibility. That’s why we critically assess our own impact on the environment. Both in the Netherlands and in India and various countries in Africa. For the strategic period 2025 – 2028 we have formulated three key environmental ambitions. These are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals to ensure a holistic and impactful approach: 

1. We identify, prevent, mitigate and address potential and actual negative impacts of our programmes on the environment.
2. We measure our carbon footprint, starting with a baseline survey and report over the baseline year 2023. Based on that we will set targets for our carbon reduction ambitions.
3. We mainstream climate into all our concepts and mitigate or compensate the negative climate effects of our work.
