Wiet van Meel

Wiet van Meel, known as Pontifax, is a dedicated supporter, facilitator, and initiator of sustainability projects and programs that aim to create value at local, regional, national, or international levels.

Pontifax's approach focuses on ensuring a balanced integration of planet (land use planning), profit (value creation), and people (quality of life) in sustainable initiatives, steering away from mere theoretical solutions and actively contributing to the implementation of enduring projects.

Pontifax firmly believes in the necessity of sustainable initiatives where the elements of planet, profit, and people are harmoniously aligned, emphasizing the importance of breaking down the silos that exist in the western representation-democracy to achieve this balance.

Through a strategic methodology of connecting initiatives with stakeholders from various sustainability sectors (planet, profit, people), Pontifax advocates for 'Verkokeren om te ontkokeren,' seeking to unite diverse interests for sustainable outcomes.
