Thebe's enthusiasm for sustainability was sparked during her undergraduate internship at Social Enterprise NL. The contact with inspiring social enterprises made her realize that this was the direction in which she wanted to continue. With her European master's degree in Global Challenges for Sustainability, she delved further into the Sustainable Development Goals in the form of various challenging projects, with the ambition of creating long-term social value. After adventurous living and studying experiences in Hamburg, Bordeaux, Budapest and Montpellier, Thebe is now driven to bring theory to practice and support Dutch organizations in their pursuit of future-proofing.
Rick is heavily involved in sustainability in his personal life and likes to extend this impact to his business life. For example, he once started at a large grid operator as a sustainability consultant with a focus on procurement. Here he developed this passion further and further, and got to know the world of sustainable procurement better and better. At PHI factory he applies his creativity and headstrong outlook to dissect, structure and solve various issues. The focus here is always on feasibility. Making as much impact as possible in an accessible way.
Joost has been working diligently on sustainability since his studies and tries to take others along with him. For example, he once worked at a large beer brewery where he experienced how enthusiastic managers can become as soon as sustainability is made tangible in the form of dashboards and other forms of presentation. This mission drives Joost to make data insightful for the customer and to start the conversation together to design the future for all of us. PHI Factory is the right partner in which he can express his personal mission and passion and accelerate the transition towards sustainability in a large network.
Jeanette has had a fascination with nature since a young age. Her mission is to contribute to a society where people and nature reinforce each other. Biomimicry, learning from nature to address sustainability issues, was a logical choice of study for her. With her background in communications, she knows how to translate the broad scientific knowledge she gained here to a wide audience. Moreover, her specialization in programming enables her to deal with complex data. This makes Jeanette feel right at home in the Calculator team of PHI.

We work three tracks.
- Circular action. We actualize circular goals, form circular (facility) coalitions and make buildings sustainable.
- To measure = to know. We measure the effects. We accomplish this through the PHI Impact Calculator.
- Inspire. We inspire and trigger employees in organizations to act through gamified learning.
Our approach is always customized.
Our building blocks offer an approach tailored to your organization and transition phase. Are you looking for tangible circular ambitions? Or are you ready to translate them into a practical roadmap? Identify where your organization can have the most positive environmental impact with our PHI Impact Calculator. Or start a genuine circular coalition with all your value chain partners!
