Session 2
Monday, 17 May: 14:30 - 16:30Boukje Taphoorn
The second session also features corporate and sustainable entrepreneurs on stage. Bol.com is part of the Dutch based Ahold Delhaize company (also the corporation behind Albert Heijn) and the leading e-commerce company in the Netherlands. CMO Boukje Taphoorn will share with us how Bol.com has responded during the crisis and what are the challenges ahead.
Eva Gouwens
The second speaker is the CEO of the most sustainable supplier of mobiles in the world: Fairphone. Eva Gouwens will explain how she wants to change the industry standards for mobiles to include social and environmental criteria by offering a competitive sustainable alternative to the market. Before she started at Fairphone she was leading Tony Chocolonely with a similar mission. Key question: can this successful strategy be copied in the market for mobiles?
