| Summary: | The outset of 2020 was an exceptional period in world history. A viral pandemic affected most countries on Earth, including the Netherlands, and day to day life, commerce and businesses were seriously hit. Some companies, however, managed to thrive. Eosta B.V., Europe's leading distributor of organic and fair-trade fruits and vegetables, experienced a 40% growth in turnover during the first months of 2020. Driven by the strong leadership of its founder and CEO Volkert Engelsman, Eosta had positioned itself as a frontrunner in the sustainability field. It had incorporated the UN's SDGs into the core of its business, and had actively developed projects on soil conservation, transparent supply chains, sustainable packaging, social development, living wages, and healthy food. Furthermore, it had pushed forward a new definition of profit and cost accounting that included the impacts on environment and society. |
