If it becomes an assignment to do something with People and Planet, you better close the tent.
Bart is very clear about the 3 P's: “If it becomes an assignment to do something with People and Planet, you better close the shop. You must genuinely want to contribute to a better world. If you don't feel that, you can never be successful. Young people no longer accept that as a company you do not contribute to a better world. The 3 P's are outdated. Profit can never be a goal, but is a consequence of your goal. It must be a consequence of why you do something and that reason must never be profit. That is a consequence, because you do it well. I am not concerned with: 'Everything I do must be optimally sustainable'. Sustainable fish is our goal. We strive as much as possible for our goal, in which good care for fish, nature and our fishing communities are paramount.”

Maurits Groen: “Profit is a side effect of something you do decently. Otherwise, society should not even allow such activities to take place. You have to behave as a responsible citizen, producer and company.
Maurits has been concerned with the well-being of our planet his entire life: “Forget the word climate change. It is climate disruption. The costs are so high that it is antisocial that the people who pollute the most pay the least in proportion. People who have contributed the least often have to pay the most. Take the Masai, for example. These people cannot defend themselves. They die in silence. If you have to report on climate change as a reporter, you will not get out of bed. In South new zealand whatsapp number Africa, water is being rationed because it has not rained for years. Last year, the largest forest fire ever in the area raged in Greenland. Forest fires in and around the Arctic Circle are expected to continue to increase. If all the plans of the Paris Agreement are implemented in all countries, the earth will still become 3 degrees warmer.” And Maurits could go on like this for a while.
WakaWaka offers the possibility to generate electricity in a simple way. Maurits: “In disasters and refugee situations, we give away many products for free. In addition, we sell our products in the West, but also in countries where people have no electricity at all. That is difficult, because those people often have no money. These people pay a small amount every week because the initial investment is too high. This does mean that we have to pre-finance the products. In addition, we also have to finance our stock. That is quite a big challenge. Banks do not dare to do that. So we lose a lot of time with money and financing.”
WakaWaka has used various forms of crowdfunding to address these financing challenges. Maurits: “For continuity, you need a positive operating result. We are working hard on this. We are not going to compromise, disadvantage people or make bad products. We help improve lives and we will continue to do so.”
