Viaeterna / Hein van Lieverloo primarily works for water companies and food companies. 
The methods I use in most cases are applicable to a wide variety of companies and institutions.

• Science: understanding processes and products of your company and their impact on your customers.
• Solutions: exploring possibilities and predicting feasibility.
• Support: if you need extra people for project management, e.g. implementation of solutions.

The approach is fitted to your situation and challenges.



General interest
Evidently, the quality of your company and its products is your most imminent and major concern. For me, it is my familiy and therefore, my work. I do believe, however, that happiness is to be found in a joint effort to strive for goals of general interest and concern.

I would like to draw your attention to the work of the American Nobel Price winner (Economy 2001) Joseph Stiglitz. (Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stiglitz; his own site: http://www.josephstiglitz.com/). He was the highest economic advisor to US President Clinton at the end of the last century and after that he became the highest economist in the office of the World Bank, responsible for diminishing poverty in the World. 

In his book 'Globalization and its discontents', Stiglitz shows how the poor part of the population of developing countries is counteracted severely in its development by the actions of especially the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and associated countries and (financial) institutions. In his book 'Making globalization work', he proposes improvements.

No matter how well (intended) the work of governments (development aid) and non-governmental development aid organisations, their actions are drops in an ocean that is constantly filled by rivers of, according to Stiglitz, unfair rules and actions by governments,  companies and institutions. My hope is that all governments, companies and institutions, in their strive for sustainability, (also) work on removing the causes, described by Stiglitz, of poverty, leading to unsafety, lack of safe drinking-water, lack of sanitation, hunger, lack of safe food, mass migration, devastation of natural resources ....

Thank you for you attention.
