Expanding services with Good Growth Collective
Expanding services with sustainability expert Good Growth Collective
Vroomshoop/Amsterdam, 5 December 2024
Good Growth Collective, a consultancy firm specialising in sustainability, is joining accountancy and advisory firm de Jong & Laan. Based in Amsterdam, Good Growth Collective was founded by Bernd Hendriksen and Kevin van Dam and advises mid-sized and large organisations, based in the Netherlands and abroad, on a wide range of pragmatic sustainability solutions, including CSRD reporting. With this addition, de Jong & Laan expands its advisory practice and strengthens its national presence with a second office in Amsterdam.
“Good Growth Collective is a great fit for de Jong & Laan and aligns perfectly with our ambition to become the go-to adviser for SME+ organisations in the Netherlands with a strong focus on sustainability,” explains Jurgen van Breukelen, Chair of the Management Board. “Thanks to Good Growth Collective’s expertise in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), we are now even better positioned to support our clients in achieving their sustainability goals, ambitions, and responsibilities. In addition, this partnership represents a valuable opportunity for our people to further develop their expertise in future-focused sustainability advisory services.” This marks the first integration since Van Breukelen joined de Jong & Laan and, given the organisation’s progressive outlook, it certainly won’t be the last. “We always keep one clear objective in mind: continuous innovation that delivers relevant, added value to help our clients move forward,” Van Breukelen adds.
Moving forward together: double value for clients
Bernd Hendriksen, co-founder of Good Growth Collective, says: “Our organisations share the same mindset and drive. The strength and decisiveness of a respected firm like de Jong & Laan were key factors in our decision to join forces. We bring added value through our CSRD expertise, while our clients will benefit from de Jong & Laan’s multidisciplinary services. This partnership enables us to provide long-term support to clients in their transition towards sustainable, future-proof operations.”
