    Novisource celebrates listing anniversary introducing employee stock ownership plan

    Euronext Amsterdam-listed consultancy company Novisource is pleased to announce the introduction of a stock ownership plan for its employees. CEO Willem van der Vormcelebrates the plan’s introduction and Novisource’s first year on Euronext Amsterdam by sounding the gong.

    It is Novisource’s (ticker symbol: NOVI) ambition to be an attractive employer, both now and in the future. It seeks to invest in its employees and stimulate entrepreneurship. By offering its employees a tempting way to acquire company stock, the organisation believes it can further increase its draw as an employer and retain its employees for longer. Permanent employees are offered an interesting discount on acquiring Novisource stock and become eligible for an attractive premium after three years.

    The company’s decision to introduce an employee stock ownership plan, in partnership with Van Lanschot Bankiers, follows a survey among the workforce. “As a knowledge-based company, it is vital for us to recruit and retain individuals who possess specific expertise. As our professionals work primarily in the financial sector, they generally appreciate both the risks and the advantages that financial products present. The stock ownership plan is a perfect reflection of this understanding,” explains Van der Vorm.

    CEO ARCADIS Europe Erik Blokhuis opens trading for ‘Sustainable Cities Index’

    Erik Blokhuis, CEO of the European branch of ARCADIS (ticker symbol; ARCAD), a global design and consultancy firm for the natural and built environment, opens trading at Euronext Amsterdam. Research by ARCADIS shows that Amsterdam and Rotterdam are highly sustainable cities, ranked respectively fourth and fifth in a global ranking.

    Sustainability is of great importance, since sustainable cities offer a higher quality of life, high prosperity and lower levels of greenhouse gas emission. Worldwide, the most sustainable city is Frankfurt, followed by London and Copenhagen. The top 10 counts 7 European cities, as shown by the ‘Sustainable Cities Index’, recently published by ARCADIS.

    “The Netherlands are performing well, because the Dutch have a tradition of creating qualitative living environments in small areas”, explains Blokhuis. In the city of Amsterdam, sustainability is on top of the agenda. One of the objectives is to maximize zero emission transport by 2025, by increasing the number of electrical charging outlets to four thousand. Moreover, two new cargo hubs will be created on the outskirts of the city, allowing transfer of goods. “Sustainability is an important topic for the city of Rotterdam as well. The port and city need to be more connected. We expect that thirty years from now, the population of the city centre will have doubled with a minimal environmental impact”.
