Supervision & Advice

Careful governance, transparency and strategic advice within Stichting ZERO.

Stichting ZERO places great value on careful governance, transparency and substantive quality. To safeguard these values, the foundation works with a Supervisory & Advisory Board (RTA). This board supports the management by thinking along critically, exercising supervision and providing strategic advice.

The Supervisory & Advisory Board operates independently of day-to-day operations and safeguards the mission, vision and core values of Stichting ZERO. From their own areas of expertise, the members contribute additional knowledge and perspective in the fields of finance, education, development and social issues.
