Mission & Goals
The Dutch Sustainable Growth Coalition (DSGC) is a partnership, uniting eight globally operating companies of Dutch origin, stimulating the development of sustainable business models through multi-stakeholder collaboration. In this way, the coalition aims to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, with a focus on three transitions: climate, circularity, and social equity. The DSGC fosters dialogue and knowledge exchange between businesses, the Dutch government, and other key stakeholders.

Communication Activities
Urgent appeal to the new European Commission to boost investments by creating demand. A broad coalition of industry associations, network organisations, knowledge institutions, NGOs and companies urges the new European Commission to boost investments into the European industrial sector by creating European offtake markets for cleaner industrial products, in order to prevent a looming industrial exodus. On December 12th 2024, the letter was first presented to Wopke Hoekstra, EU Commissioner for Climate Action. The Call for Demand Creation is signed by 99 branches and organisations.
