Statement from our director - Jelmer Pijlman

Improving the world with sustainable energy is our mission. A mission statement that can only take place with consideration for people and the environment. We are therefore concerned and take very seriously allegations about the use of forced labor within the solar energy supply chain. We condemn forced labor in any form, as well as all other human rights violations. We also see it as our responsibility to combat it, even though the matter is very complex. We are therefore actively working, together with our industry association Holland Solar, to gain insight into the production and supply chain of solar panels.

To achieve concrete change, we are working with policy makers, cooperatives, contractors and suppliers on standards and procedures to ensure that our supply chain is free of forced labor. This includes measures for compliance by contractors, suppliers and traceability within our supply chain to identify the origin of parts and raw materials and track their processing.
