FrieslandCampina
Dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina has been a partner of the Concertgebouw Orchestra since 2020. Common themes such as diversity and inclusion, well-being and striving for excellence underpin this special partnership.
There are many similarities between the two organisations, both of which were founded in the Netherlands, have existed for over 130 years and have been conferred the designation ‘Royal’. The connection is further strengthened by the fact that both are world leaders with international status in their respective fields. FrieslandCampina and the Concertgebouw Orchestra strive for outstanding quality and share a constant quest for improvement and innovation, with which they aim to make an impact on society. In addition, the two organisations are collaborating intensively in the areas of learning and development and diversity and inclusion, inspiring and learning from each other.
