Solar energy and wind power companies, industry organizations, the Dutch government, knowledge institutes, NGOs and trade unions will join forces to make international chains more sustainable. On March 6 2023, the new ICSR for the Renewable Energy Sector was signed. Energie-Nederland is a co-signatory to the covenant, and welcomes the developments the covenant brings.

In the covenant, the parties made agreements on international corporate social responsibility (ICSR) for the next five years. The aim of the covenant is to jointly tackle and prevent possible issues related to human rights violations and environmental damage through collaboration.
