As a result, student associations such as EFR may no longer enter into new collaborations with the company. This became clear after a conversation with former committee member on fossil industry Bas Karreman, says Christian Stevens, officer Sustainability &amp; Diversity and Inclusion at EFR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since May 2025, the university has used an assessment and evaluation framework for collaboration with fossil fuel companies. Based on this, students and staff must determine whether they can collaborate with a company. The conditions are partly based on international sustainability standards such as the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) and LobbyMap, which assess the extent to which companies\u2019 plans meet the Paris climate goals. According to the framework, companies that do not meet these conditions may no longer collaborate with the university once their current contract ends. Shell had previously met the requirements, but according to the new TPI report it no longer does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">Een lijst met artikelen<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-sand  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white! theme-violet:bg-white! theme-sand:bg-white!\n\tflex-row gap-4 @md:gap-8 p-4 @md:p-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image:w-full image:aspect-square image:object-cover shrink-0 size-17.5 @sm:size-21.25 @md:size-30 @lg:size-40\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166\" class=\"attachment-square_lg size-square_lg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166 2000w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot-300x245.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot-875x716.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot-1280x1047.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot-1600x1309.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166 1600w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot-150x123.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/28111334\/kwestie-duurzamer-monetair-beleid-snoeien-in-fossiele-industrie-bas-van-der-schot-225x184.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139166 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 md:gap-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-md @lg:text-lg\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2025\/05\/20\/committee-on-fossil-industry-collaboration-must-meet-moral-minimum-or-stop\/\" class=\"absolute-link text-current hocus:underline inline-block\">\n\t\t\t\tCommittee on fossil industry: Collaboration must meet &#8216;moral minimum&#8217; or stop\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-4 items-center\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Gepubliceerd op:<\/span>\n\t\t\t<time class=\"text-sm font-soehne text-neutral-900\" datetime=\"2025-05-20\">20 May 2025<\/time>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<ul data-component=\"list-badges\" class=\"flex items-center gap-2 flex-wrap\" aria-label=\"Geplaatst in categorie\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-component=\"badge\" class=\"block-theme-violet:bg-purple font-soehne font-bold text-sm bg-brown-600 block-theme-violet:bg-purple text-white py-[2px] px-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSustainability\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Financial consequences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>EFR\u2019s core activity lies in recruitment events, where companies and students connect. The loss of Shell as a sponsor therefore has direct financial consequences, Stevens says. He does not want to mention an exact amount, but speaks of a noticeable loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the loss will remain limited. EFR still has an ongoing one-year contract with Shell, which was signed before the framework was introduced, Stevens explains. \u201cWe are still allowed to complete that. But next year we will really have to look at how to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karreman, who is also director of Engagement and Impact at the Erasmus School of Economics, indicated in the conversation with EFR that he wants to explore how the faculty can help EFR find new partners. \u201cWe can help student associations by connecting them with sustainable companies\u201d, he says. According to him, the faculty\u2019s research centres and academic networks offer opportunities for new collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Karreman emphasises that responsibility also lies with the associations themselves. \u201cAs an association, you need to actively think about your long-term strategy and look for new partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Uncertainty about implementation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stevens admits that EFR found it difficult to properly understand the framework before the meeting with Karreman. According to Karreman, that confusion is not surprising. \u201cA framework has been drawn up, but no concrete implementation plan has followed\u201d, he says. \u201cAs a result, for many parties, including student associations, it is not always clear exactly how the guidance should be applied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, the Executive Board will evaluate how faculties are implementing the framework for collaborating with fossil fuel companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"text-lg md:text-xl\">Read more<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-sand  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white!
