Doing business at the expense of one of your stakeholder will effect your business negatively eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Research has shown that conscious businesses are far more successful, also for Shareholders.

We set the tipping point at 16% of companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conscious Business is connected to the worldwide movement of Conscious Capitalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1176\" height=\"1179\" src=\"https:\/\/consciousbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Hendrik-Jan-10c143df-1920w-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/consciousbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Hendrik-Jan-10c143df-1920w-edited.webp 1176w, https:\/\/consciousbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Hendrik-Jan-10c143df-1920w-edited-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/consciousbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Hendrik-Jan-10c143df-1920w-edited-1021x1024.webp 1021w, https:\/\/consciousbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Hendrik-Jan-10c143df-1920w-edited-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/consciousbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Hendrik-Jan-10c143df-1920w-edited-768x770.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1176px) 100vw, 1176px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hendrik Jan van Es<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Conscious Business<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-modal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline js--open-modal is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-normal-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\">Read bio<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hendrik Jan van Es<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneur from the day of graduation in business economics and two years of philosophy.

Het heeft voor een ongekende groei van welvaart gezorgd maar ook voor enorme verschillen in rijkdom. De groei is bereikt door uitbuiting van de planeet en grote bevolkingsgroepen. Zij betalen de werkelijke kosten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zo hoeft het niet te zijn! Steeds meer bedrijven werken \u2018Conscious\u2019 en realiseren een verrassend positieve groei in winst en welzijn. Groter dan vergelijkbare bedrijven die niet zo werken. Wij ondersteunen die bedrijven en maken hun manier van werken zichtbaar. Deze ontwikkeling naar Conscious Capitalism tilt de mensheid naar een hoger welzijns- en welvaartsniveau en draagt bij aan een gezonde aarde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onze belangrijkste focus is het MKB en familiebedrijven. Hier kan verandering het snelst en het meest duurzaam gerealiseerd kan worden. \u201cKleine en middelgrote ondernemingen spelen een belangrijke rol in de Nederlandse economie. Vrijwel alle activiteiten in Nederland vallen onder het MKB. Zij bieden werkgelegenheid (70% = 4,38 miljoen mensen in 2019) en zijn verantwoordelijk voor 62% van de toegevoegde waarde binnen de economie.\u201d<br>(bron: MKB Nederland)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>16% van de MKB-bedrijven in Nederland heeft de potentie zich snel tot een Conscious Business te ontwikkelen, is onze inschatting. De positieve impact die zij daarmee voor al hun stakeholders hebben, leidt tot een sneeuwbaleffect dat zorgt voor duurzame, onomkeerbare verandering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our higher purpose Building a business economy where all prosper Or in other words; Not making a profit at the expense of anyone or anything.
