Think about what is needed

“We believe that the global economy must fit within the borders of the planet,” explains Jacco Minnaar (Head of Commercial). “At the same time, we offer all people the opportunities and resources to live full lives.”

This requires a profound transformation of the system. To contribute to this shift and make informed decisions, we must continually think about what is needed. This role is befitting of a Chief Economist, and we are very pleased that Hans Stegemann will take on this responsibility,” says Menard.
