In 2014, Triodos Bank saw a net profit of 17 percent, resulting in an increase up to 30.1 million euros. The Netherlands-based bank, which aims to be distinguished from competitors by sustainable and transparent banking, published this news on Tuesday, 3 March 2015.

According to Nu.nl, the profit was depressed by 8.3 million euros due to the mandatory contribution that banks must provide to the rescue of SNS bank.

Triodos managed to gain more customers last year, and now counts more than 530,000. Compared to 2013, this makes an increase of 13 percent. The total assets entrusted to the bank, including investments and savings, rose 10 percent to 10.6 billion euros.

The loan portfolio grew by 12 percent. Almost half of this growth resulted from mortgages, a market in which Triodos has been engaged for more than two years. The bank tries to encourage the preservation of housing by linking the interest to energy efficient homes – the better the energy efficiency category, the lower the mortgage rate.

The equity of the bank also increased by 8 percent to 740 million euros. The new capital comes from people who want to be a co-owner of the bank and buy share certificates.

For 2015, Triodos Bank expects the loan portfolio as well as entrusted resources to grow by 10 percent. Triodos is also counting on an increase in the number of customers by 10 to 15 percent. Unforeseen circumstances aside, the bank believes that the profit will be approximately equal to that of 2014.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
