About Ploos

Ploos van Amstel Milieu Consulting (Ploos)

Ploos has been operating since 1995 and aims at delivering an active contribution to reducing carbon emissions. The starting point thereby is Trias Energetica. First use as little energy as possible and then invest (the saving realized) in alternative, sustainable sources of energy. Ploos wants to realize that not by producing as many reports as possible, but by making sure its business relations can invest available funds as much as possible in real energy saving measures.

Mission

Ploos is inspired by global energy issues and we see it as our task to adhere to both national and international environmental policy plans. The Kyoto Protocol, for example, which came into force on February 2005, encourages providing organisations with practical tools for efficiently contributing. For urbanised environments, the implementation of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is the point of departure. Here at Ploos, we are eager to help clarify the extent of wasted energy, including providing tools for really reducing CO2 emissions.

Vision

Ploos intends to accomplish its mission by making as full use as possible of the knowledge and data available by deploying online tools that enable organisations to achieve a maximum result for the environment and economy at minimum cost and burden to themselves.

Strategy

It is our aim at Ploos to achieve our growth objectives by supplying solutions such as an online tool for making a realistic comparison of energy consumption with that of similar organisations, based on data from energy invoices. Ploos also wishes to provide a financial structure to enable budget-neutral implementation of energy-saving measures and the decentralised generation of sustainable energy. The online tools we have developed make use of the homogeneousness of organisations. Schools, offices, banks, cattle farmers and car dealers, for instance, are mutually comparable, making benchmarking a powerful aid. The tools both make use of the homogeneousness of groups and recognise individual requirements.

Ploos offers its solutions through multisites, cooperations and strategic partners representing homogeneous groups.

Goal

Growth of minimum 15% per year based on results achieved and customer satisfaction.
