Their expertise ranges from sustainability reporting to change management and business development and from marketing to stakeholder engagement and community building.
With its mission to be a force for positive change in the world, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) has firmly established its reputation over almost 50 years as one of Europe’s most international and innovative business schools. ECET (the Erasmus Centre for Energy Transition) engages multiple stakeholders involved in the energy transition, which necessitates new businessand finance models, a new type of collaboration between public and private stakeholders and a reevaluation of the driving values of our society towards sustainability and social inclusion.

His academic and consulting work focuses on multinational enterprise strategies, corporate social responsibility and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Malou Kroezen is managing director of ECET and experienced facilitator of executive training and intrapreneurship projects.
I am convinced that organisations can only be successful in the long term if on balance they are making a positive contribution to society. With my experience as an adviser, accountant, director and supervisor I want to contribute to the transition towards a sustainable society. Everybody can make their own contribution. No matter how small the pebble is that you throw in the pond, together we can make a giant wave.
By combining my background in marketing & strategy with sustainability I want to help organisations to make REAL impact on their way towards a green, open and inclusive economy. I am convinced that companies can only be and remain successful if they look at all three pillars of sustainability: so not just the economic pillar, but certainly also the social dimension, and taking care of our planet.
Rob van Tulder is full professor of international business-society management and academic director of the Partnerships Resource Centre.

He is also the founder of Scope, an expert centre at Erasmus University in International Business and Sustainable Development. Together with UNCTAD, Scope compiles the widely-published lists of the largest Transnational Corporations worldwide from developed and developing countries, published annually in the World Investment Report.
