The objective of the Platform is to make a substantial and innovative contribution to a reduction in the energy consumption in the built environment. The eleven members intend to achieve this objective by founding an implementation agency in which all interested parties will participate, in consultation with the ministries for economic affairs and for housing & environment.
Pieter Hartog, Managing Director of Rockwool Benelux BV, sees an important duty for both the Platform and his company. “Rockwool Benelux BV fully endorses the Platform’s targets: we also endeavour to achieve sustainability for our surroundings and our company. I am convinced that our envelope-insulation knowledge and experience will enable us to make a fundamental contribution to a reduction in the energy demand of built-up areas, since the most sustainable form of energy is saved energy. Moreover the Platform offers us a unique opportunity to work together in tackling the challenge of energy neutrality.”
Along with Rockwool Benelux BV, the members of the Platform are Koninklijke BAM Groep NV, Eneco Holding NV, the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, GTI NV, Nefit BV, Nuon NV, Philips Lighting BV, Redenko BV, Saint-Gobain Isover Benelux BV and TNO Construction & Groundwork
