idverde NL and Stichting Steenbreek have entered into a partnership to accelerate the greening of urban environments, combining their expertise to develop practical, nature-based solutions that improve climate resilience, biodiversity, health, and spatial quality across the Netherlands.
The collaboration focuses particularly on transforming business parks into greener, healthier, and more sustainable places to work.
Working together for greener business parks.
Stichting Steenbreek is a national organisation dedicated to supporting the sustainable greening of the built environment and encouraging climate-resilient, liveable communities.
Through this new partnership, idverde NL will contribute its expertise in landscape design, green infrastructure, and environmental management to help develop practical solutions for the future of business parks.
As Roel van Dijk, Director of Stichting Steenbreek, explains:
“The knowledge and expertise of idverde NL will help us develop concrete solutions for greening business parks.”
Creating the working landscapes of the future.
The partnership reflects a shared ambition to rethink how business parks are designed and managed, creating environments that benefit businesses, employees, and nature alike.
Mascha Maas, Commercial Manager at idverde NL, said:
“We want to play a leading role in greening business parks and creating the working landscapes of the future. Our collaboration with Stichting Steenbreek is an important step towards achieving that ambition.”
From research to real-world solutions.
As part of the collaboration, idverde NL and Stichting Steenbreek will organise a series of business park events and knowledge-sharing initiatives across the Netherlands.
The first event, held in Limburg, focuses on the social value of introducing more green infrastructure into business parks. Particular attention will be given to a new feasibility study at Business Park Roerstreek, exploring how nature-based solutions can address local challenges including climate adaptation, health, biodiversity, and the overall quality of the working environment.
The study aims to identify practical opportunities for creating future-ready landscapes that better support both people and the environment.
Building healthier and more resilient workplaces.
The partnership marks another step in idverde NL’s commitment to integrating nature into everyday environments.
By bringing together expertise in sustainable landscape design, ecological management, and urban greening, idverde NL and Stichting Steenbreek aim to create business parks where economic activity, environmental performance, and community wellbeing can thrive together.
