How can companies create value beyond just financial returns? In this lecture, Henk Hofstede, Sector Banker Retail at ABN AMRO, sits down with Prof. Willem Schramade to discuss how businesses can integrate financial, social, and ecological value into their decision-making.

Through real-world examples and academic insights, this lecture will give you a fresh perspective on sustainable financing strategies. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or director, this session will challenge conventional thinking and inspire new approaches to long-term value creation.
