The Partner for Industry Associations in Sustainable Transition


The Partner for Industry Associations in Sustainable Transition

At Lejeune, we understand the crucial role that industry associations play in the sustainable transition of sectors. These organisations serve as the platform for sector-wide efforts to address the challenges of sustainability. With our specific knowledge and expertise in the field of collective collaboration, we are the partner for Industry associations wanting to contribute to a sustainable future.

The role of Industry Associations in sustainable transition

The global emphasis on a balance between growth, prosperity, wellbeing, and environment has led to ambitious international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, the EU Green Deal, and the National Circular Economy Programme 2030 in the Netherlands. These agreements call for a translation at the sector level through collective action via Industry associations.

Recent developments in European competition law have expanded the possibilities for Industry associations to act as pre-competitive platforms where members collaborate on sustainability projects. Lejeune plays an active role in this transformation by facilitating strategic collaboration and project development focused on sustainability.

From Sustainable Thinking to ACTION

Our approach is practical and results-oriented. Under the motto 'From Sustainable Thinking to ACTION', we have developed a tool that assists organisations in implementing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Lejeune Sustainability Matrix

The core of our approach is the Lejeune Sustainability Matrix. This tool is designed to support Industry associations in understanding and applying sustainability tailored to their sector. By distilling the 169 sub-goals of the SDGs into a few relevant sub-goals, the matrix provides a clear and action-oriented framework.

How Does It Work?

Selection: We have already filtered the 17 SDGs with 169 sub-goals into a few relevant sub-goals for Industry associations. Screening: An online form assists in evaluating these sub-goals from different perspectives within your sector. Report: You receive a customised report with relevant sub-goals and project ideas. Project Development: This report serves as the basis for developing concrete projects together with our advisors. Implementation: We support in finding the right partners and prioritising actions to realise these projects. Become active in sustainability with Lejeune.

Lejeune walks for the Princess Máxima Centre

Lejeune Association Management recently became a Business Friend of the Princess Máxima Centre in Utrecht. Through an annual contribution, we support research, innovation in care and facilities for children with cancer and their families. In doing so, we contribute to the mission of curing every child with cancer while ensuring the best possible quality of life. Our team has embraced this commitment too. When our colleague Piroska suggested walking together, the first plans quickly took shape: a short lunchtime walk and a five-kilometre route for those who want to go a little further. During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are using these walks to raise awareness of children with cancer and their families.

Canada and the EU: what ‘associate membership’ teaches association professionals

What does Canada’s relationship with the European Union have to do with association management? More than you might think. The period from early September to mid-October is one in which, across Europe, parliaments return from the summer recess, and Royal Throne speeches and Presidential State of the Union addresses kick off the parliamentary year. For sector organisations, the ‘political season’ begins. This is also why many European lobbying and interest groups schedule their policy activities, parliamentary receptions and position papers specifically around this time.
