Therefore, on this occasion a<br>meeting in a different kind of nature, the jungle of one of the largest industries in the<br>Netherlands; the port of Rotterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will listen to and watch someone whose goal is to let nature live on in all its facets. A key<br>moment for making this conscious choice was his 2015 trail to Botswana. During this trail, he<br>decided to dedicate himself to the public cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victor van der Chijs brings us along into his daily life as chairman of Deltalinqs, the business<br>organization of the port-industrial complex in Rotterdam. How he sees our shared obligation<br>to nature as an opportunity for the port of Rotterdam.<br>Perhaps a not so immediately obvious vision, but one that will appeal to and inspire us all to<br>see for ourselves if there are more opportunities presented in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalleadership.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Victor-van-der-Chijs.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15394\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Victor&#8217;s inspiration, we will take a walk through Rotterdam to see how past and present,<br>obstacles and opportunities and land and water are connected with one another.<br>This walk will be facilitated by Robert Spieker. With his company, Robert organizes walks<br>and retreats in cities. He is an active hiker. In addition to his FNL trail in Marataba and many<br>other accomplishments, Robert has walked the Pieterpad and recently the Camino to Santiago<br>de Compostela and gained many wonderful insights that he uses in his daily life and also<br>whilst providing support during walk &#038; talk mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalleadership.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Haven-Rotterdam.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15396\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Walk-in 09.30 a.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start 10 a.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lunch 12.30 p.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End 13.00 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location<\/strong><br>Society on the Meuse (https:\/\/www.societeitaandemaas.nl\/contact.html).<br>Veerdam 1<br>3016 DD Rotterdam<br>Parking: there is enough parking place in the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cost for paying members \u20ac 35,-.

He started his career at ING,<br>first in Amsterdam and later in Hong Kong. He then switched to the Schiphol Group. He also<br>worked for a long time at OMA, the architecture firm of Rem Koolhaas. Before becoming<br>chairman of Deltalinqs, he was at the helm of the University of Twente.<br>Van der Chijs is optimistic about the sustainable future of the Netherlands, but we must act<br>quickly. He expects that non-sustainable production will soon have a price. According to him,<br>whoever is sustainable first will benefit the most. At Deltalinqs, he is committed to the<br>cooperation between entrepreneurs, even if they are each other&#8217;s competitors. Together they<br>can take steps that an individual company would not be able to make. Van der Chrijs argues<br>that this is the only way the port of Rotterdam can meet the CO2 reduction target for 2030.<br>Because 20 percent of the Dutch CO2 reduction for 2030 must be realized in the port city.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper has-background-image\" style=\"background-image:url(\"https:\/\/naturalleadership.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/standard-bg.jpg\");background-position:center center\"><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-block-title-font-size wp-block-heading\">View all of our programs!<\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15403,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15392","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
