Responsible Business Conduct (RBC)
Last checked on: 2 April 2025
The Dutch government aims to ensure that companies abroad engage in responsible business conduct. This means that companies use due diligence to identify risks for people and the environment within their own business operations and international value chain. Where possible, companies must take steps to reduce and stop these risks. This benefits the world and your company as well.
If your company is interested in getting funding or other support from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), you must declare that your company conducts its business responsibly.
