Sustainability Speaker, Sustainability Advisor and Ambassador, the founder of Dopper, Mama Gaia and Oceans - Merijn Everaarts

Hi! I am Merijn.

Sustainability Ambassador, Speaker and Advisor. Founder of Dopper, Mama Gaia and Oceans. Fueled by plants and tap water. 🌱💧

Merijn Everaarts walking in the sea - Sustainability speaker Amsterdam, Haarlem The Netherlands.

Right here is where it all started. Seeing the plastic on the beach in 2009, slowly being swallowed by the sea.

I'm here to show businesses that creating systemic change isn’t just the ethical choice, it’s also the smart one.

The future is sustainable. Haven’t you heard?

 

Picture a world where your profits don’t clash with your principles, and where sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, but a way of doing business that is cooler than a cucumber.

​

Often, businesses are not aware of the fact they can have a positive impact on our planet and make money at the same time. This is what we call: a purpose economy. It’s time to move from solely working for economic gain to creating world policy, and when we do this as one team, everybody wins.

4-hour marathon  
you, me, and your green dreams.

🌿 Green Mentorship

Every month, I carve out two mornings dedicated to helping ambitious entrepreneurs or professionals on their quest towards sustainability. It's like a marathon sprint – four intense hours, just me, you and your business. No playbook is set in stone. Instead, I step into your current challenge, and together, we come up with a real-time strategy. Four weeks later I check in and we walk through your progress.

  • These mornings take place at Mama Gaia (lunch on me!)
    in Haarlem or digitally on Zoom. 

  • Dates are every second and fourth Wednesday of the month, but remember, spots are scarce.

  • The investment is €500 excl. VAT. 

  • Four hours + follow-up call four weeks later.
