Michel was a guest speaker during the Nyenrode MMBA module Transition, Innovation & Entrepreneurship for which I am responsible. While he talked to the participants about his motivations and experiences with True Price, we walked through the university estate. The combination of his passionate story and the unusual teaching place led to an inspiring and intimate experience. The appreciation that the participants showed for their contribution was therefore very high!

As part of the IFFI – Ingredients For Food Innovators executive program ‘Industrial marketing in Food’ Michel Scholte shared his views on True Pricing with marketing executives in the food ingredients industry. To price the intangible values of the environment, animal welfare of biodiversity as part of the overall costs of food. Thanks to Michel and his colleagues at True Price consumers and food producers start to value the true price of food products globally. Inspiring to have Michel involved in the process to make an impact on societal issues by managing an international business in food.

Michel was a guest speaker at the SDG Talk with the theme ‘Reforming the economy’, part of the SDG Traineeship. He shared his critical view on this theme and the SDGs, accompanied by concrete ideas about how to proceed. He also gave the trainees tips on how to start their careers and how to stay focused on making the right impact. The trainees were well shaken up and pressed with the nose or the facts. It was one of the most inspiring and motivating SDG Talks! Michel’s passion for this young and driven target group was clearly noticeable.
