Green ambitions deliver long-term revenue

Motivation

The world is facing a range of environmental challenges: climate change, the decrease in biodiversity, resource depletion and pollution. We are committed to maximising what is truly valuable.

Our business, AMBOR create, works for and with organisations that aspire to green growth. The key processes in this are connecting, exploring, renewing and accelerating. Our ambition is to help businesses and their stakeholders to get further faster with their entrepreneurial green initiatives.

Perspective

Transitions do not happen of their own accord. We need more than just sustainable innovation. The market and the context need to change too – a change of the whole system is essential.

We make transitions together, by creating connections between organisations, and within organisations. Business owners and governments, research institutions and NGOs, and citizens all need one another in order to move towards a society that is truly sustainable. Organisations and individuals with green ambitions, who are open to dialogue and co-creation.

The challenges that we face demand new ways of thinking. Creativity is needed to renew products, revenue models and partnerships, and changes in societal roles. Businesses are working in a more socially responsible way and striving to make a more positive impact in society and on our planet. Governments are playing a facilitating role, and NGOs are becoming partners for businesses too, creating win-win situations together.

Field of work

AMBOR creatie helps organisations with green ambitions to form new partnerships. We offer services  such as workshops and process management, with a view to sustainable innovation.

Owner Anne-Marie Bor has been active in the field of sustainable design and product chain collaboration since 1990, first as a consultant and later working for the Dutch government. Her experience combines 25 years of green business development with 20 years of facilitating strategic processes. Starting from a societal aim of change (why?) working towards a programme of activities (what?) and the possible approaches to take (how?). Her projects have involved businesses, governments and NGOs, based on creative thinking, future-orientated and learning together.
