3Ps of sustainability
As a company we acknowledge the importance of the 3Ps of sustainability. The Ps refer to People, Planet, and Profit.
People
Traineeship (non-)technical graduated students
Gen25 offers a talent development program for (non-)technical graduated students who want to jumpstart their career in IT. Launched in 2021 as ‘Academy25’ the successful traineeship is already up for its second batch of career seekers. Additionally we hire people via Make IT work who want to change their career towards the digital industry which Gen25 is a part of.
Laptops 4 Charity
Gen25 supported two initiatives that provide laptops to children of families that cannot afford one. Our fortunate position makes us aware of how technology transforms businesses, careers, and lives every day. Therefore, we collected laptops among employees in our network and donated funds to Project Edu PC.
Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur and BurgessSports
In 2022 we saw a strong increase in inflation, with higher prices for energy and food being a problem for families who already had less to spend. That's why we decided to make a donation to Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur and Burgess Sports. Both organisations focus on letting children participate in sports and other activities, even if their financial situation normally wouldn't allow them.
Support for Ukraine
Gen25 supported an NGO that had scheduling challenges when they hired a hotel to accommodate Ukrainian refugees. We’ve provided them with the requested booking solution - GoMeddo - and they’ve received the licenses free of charge.
Planet

Low emission HQ in Amsterdam
Gen25 is located at the UN studio tower building on the Gustav Mahlerlaan in Amsterdam. Recently refurbishments are focussing on reducing the CO2 emissions by another 40%. The UN studio tower already has a BREEAM sustainability certificate with a ‘very good’ rating.
100% Green energy HQ in Amsterdam
The green electricity is 100% based on Dutch wind energy. In the generation of green electricity, no environmentally harmful fuels are used and hardly any polluting substances are used.
Profit
Volunteer solution free of charge
‘Brandveilig Leven’ (BVL, fire-safe living) is a project within the Netherlands Fire Service aimed at increasing awareness of fire prevention. The organization needed a solution that allows volunteers to register for different activities in an accessible and structured way. When the Fire Department reached out to us with this assignment we designed and built the portal free of charge.
