The Municipality of Haarlemmermeer, which borders Amsterdam and includes Schiphol Airport, the principal international airport of the Netherlands, has established a reputation as a leading international place for corporations to establish their businesses. Haarlemmermeer has developed a unique approach to sustainability that includes the Netherlands’ first cradle-to-cradle business development designed by William McDonough.

Aldermen John Nederstigt and Arthur van Dijk are ambassadors for a sustainable economy and society in the greater Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. In this talk, they will describe how their municipality is becoming the Dutch front-runner in sustainable innovation and economic development.
