We shake the world with our groundbreaking creativity, both for our valued customers and for our own studio. We embrace clear objectives and do not shy away from challenges. That's why we also take a closer look at our own studio, because it's not all about chatting, there's real work to be done. The evidence below speaks for itself.

0% Meat
Yes, sometimes we eat a juicy hamburger or spicy chicken sandwiches. But only when it's made from plant-based ingredients. We already ate very little meat and we have stopped doing that completely in 2022. We didn't miss it for a moment.
Plastic not so fantastic
Pieter Pot delivers groceries in reusable jars and bottles. This means that much less plastic packaging material is needed than in a 'normal' supermarket. We have replaced some of our groceries with Pieter Pot's packaging-free groceries. This allows us to reduce our plastic waste by approximately 10%.
Packaging-free coffee from Scheveningen
We buy our coffee locally at Tigershark coffee in Scheveningen. Not only very tasty coffee, but also locally roasted and since recently packaged in reusable containers instead of plastic bags.
No more fossil wetsuits for us!
Surface makes wetsuits from neoprene-free natural rubber, Yulex. These wetsuits are therefore much less harmful to the environment than traditional neoprene wetsuits. The new wetsuits that we bought from the business 'surf budget' are made of 100% natural material.

What's cooking?
A healthy lunch is prepared every day in our kitchen. Often with fresh organic products, always without meat. The pasta with lemon and red pepper was a favorite in 2022. Would you like to come by and have lunch sometime?
IMPACT
highlights
In 2022, the world was woken up by the start of the war in Ukraine. More than 8 million Ukrainians had to flee their country. We supported the Cooperating Aid Organizations Foundation (Giro555) to provide humanitarian aid to people in Ukraine with a financial contribution.
Giro 555
More than a million Dutch people live below the poverty line. The food bank helps people who do not have enough money to buy a healthy meal. We support the volunteers and therefore supported the Haaglanden Food Bank with a financial contribution.
Voedselbank Haaglanden
The sea is the place where we feel good, where we get our creativity and tranquility. The passionate volunteers of the KNRM ensure that the sea is a safe place for everyone. We would like to keep it that way and that is why we support the KNRM with an annual donation.
Koninklijke Nederlandse Reddingsmaatschappij
Single-use plastics form the largest group of waste on the coasts. Plastic cutlery, drinking bottles, cigarette butts or cotton buds account for almost half of all litter. We went out to thoroughly clean up the coast and the beach, so that less waste ends up in the sea.
No plastic in our soup
Every year during the WWF Seaswim, people swim in the sea to raise money and create awareness for the vitality of the sea and the life in it. In 2022 we raised more than €1,200 with our sponsorship campaign. Unfortunately, the event was canceled due to strong currents in the sea.
Protect what you love
Why go by car when you can also go by bike or public transport? We almost never use a car for business transportation. Most clients are easy to reach by bicycle, public transport or video calls. If we unexpectedly need a car, we will compensate for the CO2 emissions.
We want to ride our bicycles
Sitting is the new smoking... we know. Yet we do it a lot…sitting. For that reason we like to get some fresh air during a walk to the sea. About three times a week, for just under an hour.
Walk the talk
Our goal is to inspire others to work towards a better world, just like us. We do this, among other things, with our Social Media channels. In 2022, 50% of our Instagram posts consisted of information about projects. We use the other 50% to inspire others to make a sustainable and social impact.
Impact by Social media
Our studio has been B Corp certified since December 22, 2021. B Corp certified companies use their products or services for a better world.
