Integral Assignment Finance1 and Management and Organization
Energy Transition
The Dutch Government has communicated very ambitious targets for a swift energy transition towards sustainably produced energy, because traditional energy-production is held accountable for a large contribution towards global warming of planet earth.
The present situation is that the Netherlands severely lacks behind by the realisation of these targets. For that reason, Dutch Government pushes Dutch society in several ways to speed up these efforts and has opened a very generous program for subsidies and fiscal benefits for those organizations and private persons who want to participate in this program.
Sunbeam Inc.
Sunbeam Incorporated is a small group of young entrepreneurs, who are very connected with the idea of an energy transition and who see a lot of possibilities to introduce sun-collectors in the Northern part of the Netherlands, especially because up to now the majority of natural gas is being explored from the Groningen-field, with a lot of negative consequences for the local population with respect to earth-quakes.
Sunbeam Incorporated wants to sell a lot of sun-collectors, which it will import from China. Basically, they are willing to act in the most environment-friendly way possible and with the highest ethical standards with respect to production and transport of these sun-collectors as well as in the usage of the sun-collectors. They prefer placement on buildings instead of placement in a greenfield, because the latter will be at the expense of nature and/or food-production.
In order to keep on track with their principles Sunbeam Inc. is developing a Code of Conduct for their corporation and will write down their (ambitious) strategy for the next 5 years. These documents form the guidelines for the ethical behaviour and the planned development of their business.
Sunbeam is planning to buy sun-collectors abroad and wants to install them for private parties in the North of the Netherlands. It is important that these sun-collectors are produced in an environmental way, off course. Basically, there are 2 ways in which the sun-collectors can be installed: on buildings and in meadows or in nature. Of course, Sunbeam has a preference for instalment on buildings, because in this way natural environment will not be used.
