GSES measures and verifies the impact of SAIL 2025

GSES measures and verifies the sustainability impact of SAIL Amsterdam 2025.

Our founder and CEO, Kelly Ruigrok, took the stage to share how GSES measures the sustainability impact of SAIL through the GSES Platform. This platform enables organizations to monitor their performance across ESG, SDG, and circularity themes, while independent auditors our Greenguards ensure objective verification of the data.

Alderman Alexander Scholtes as speaker

The event was opened by Alexander Scholtes, Alderman for Participations of the Municipality of Amsterdam. He spoke about the importance of sustainable entrepreneurship within municipal participations and the role of collaboration between public and private partners in building a future-proof city.

Continuation of earlier sustainability collaboration

For GSES, this was a special moment, as it marked the second time the platform was invited to present to the Municipality of Amsterdam and its participations.

During the first session in 2023, held at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, GSES already presented on sustainability measurement and impact management within Amsterdam’s participations a trajectory that is now being further developed.

Building sustainable connections together

Throughout the evening, board members, commissioners, entrepreneurs, and policymakers engaged in discussions about the future of sustainable innovation, collaboration, and international connectivity.

The event concluded with a walking dinner and the impressive evening show Waves of Light an experience that beautifully symbolized the connection between the city, the sea, and sustainability.
