Circular Financing: From Risk to Opportunity, a Podcast with Sander
By 2050, the Netherlands will have a circular economy where everything we produce is reusable and nothing is wasted. This is essential for achieving the agreed CO2 reduction. Despite this positive development, circular entrepreneurs often face difficulties in finding financing. Financial institutions assess their business plans using risk models and often conclude that there are too many risks. As a result, these entrepreneurs do not get loans and the motivation to change is lacking.
We would like to know why this is the case, how risks are assessed, and how it can be done differently. To answer these questions, we have invited Sander van Wijk.
Sander van Wijk on the Tax System and Sustainable Entrepreneurship
The Netherlands is making strides towards a circular economy, but the current tax system is counterproductive to this, according to Sander van Wijk. He believes the system currently rewards unsustainable entrepreneurship, which poses a serious obstacle to circular innovation.
Sander advocates for a change in fiscal policy. He suggests reducing the tax burden on labor and increasing taxes on resource use and pollution. With his extensive experience in both the financial sector and sustainability, Sander emphasizes that this change is crucial to achieve sustainable growth within companies and to remain in line with rapidly changing regulations.
