Arjan Keizer — Co-Founder
Co-founder of Employees for our Future, a new NGO helping professionals to contribute to sustainability at work. We activate the 'silent majority' of professionals who like to see change, but are not activistic. This is the majority, but many don't know this and thus remain silent (so called Pluralistic Ignorance). We provide a community, network, tools and inspiration to help employees drive change from within. We also provide a voice to this group, with aim to depolarise sustainability. The foundation is in process of retrieving ANBI status. In my previous role at Shell, I was driving the energy transition by accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles from both professional and operational fleets. Within Shell Fleet Solutions I was advising fleets how to transition to zero carbon, which means mainly electric vehicles, but for heavy duty vehicles in the transition also Renewable Diesel (HVO100) and bio-LNG, until Hydrogen might come in the mix for long-haul duty-cycles as well. Working on emobility since 2016, when working at McKinsey Energy Insights, where I co-authored articles on eTrucks and eBusses, and I supported Waterland in their acquisition of Heliox. In my three years at NewMotion (now ShellRecharge Solutions) I was supporting the CEO with strategic questions and was preparing Board meeting materials towards Shell. Next to my daily role at Shell, I was chair of Future Energy Leaders at Shell, the grassroots green team within Shell. Aim is to increase awareness about the energy transition, reduce scope 1-3 emissions through projects, and interact with leadership about Shell's decarbonization strategy and actions. NOTE: Opinions written during my time at Shell were my own, and did not always represent the views of Shell
