EY Netherlands, Lead Partner Climate Change & Sustainability Services, Sustainability Leader The Netherlands

Enthusiastic. Empathic. Driven. Connective. Takes a goal-oriented approach, eager to take your business one step further together.

Anke is an accountant with broad knowledge and experience ranging from family businesses to multinationals and Dutch listed companies.

In addition to auditing financial statements, she has specialized in auditing non-financial information and advising on sustainability reporting. “Transparency is important and benefits companies in many areas. But how do you do that and what do you focus on? Sustainability is a broad concept and goes much further than just CO2 emissions. I like to help companies to implement this in the best possible way.”

Anke studied business economics at Tilburg University and has worked at EY since 2004.

How Anke is building a better working world

“What gives me energy? That is bringing clients and my teams one step further. Whether it's about improving reporting or personal coaching. By asking questions and listening carefully to the answer I try to get to the core. Often the solution is already there in the basics and by peeling off the different aspects together you arrive at the right conclusion or a good working perspective.”
