  • Social value top 25 Dutch companies: Minus 30 percent

    Type: Research
    Publication date: 2/7/2025

    The 23 largest AEX–listed companies in the Netherlands collectively cost society more than they yield. The total financial value of these companies is offset by a negative social and ecological balance of minus 30 percent. Two out of three AEX companies do make a positive contribution. The negative total balance is mainly caused by a small number of companies, including steel producer ArcelorMittal and Shell. Heineken also scores ‘red’, and Unilever is also remarkably low. Philips, on the other hand, is doing very well and is in first place in the ranking.
