Realizing sustainable product innovations

SaveWave – Sealife Saving Technology

SaveWave – Sealife Saving Technology

from The Netherlands

The beginning

Since the start of this millennium, SaveWave has developed some great products and we are proud to have won different awards. From our Dolphin Savers and Orca Savers to the Seabird Savers, our product’s reception in the industry has always been ground-breaking.

The adventure began with the strong will of Floris Koumans – owner of the Orange Pearl Innovation Group, when he wanted to help fisherman in Greece who conflicted with dolphins. Dolphins were destroying their nets and ate their fish. This resulted in the Dolphin Saver.

SaveWave is constantly working with experts all over the world with the intention to create innovative solutions to protect marine animals and support fisherman in their daily struggle with marine life. SaveWave is specialized in the development of ecologically sustainable solutions. The company develops unique solutions by using ultrasonic sound signals, which create safe zones around problem areas. Our innovations are used to protect human activity from marine mammals without harming them.

One of our greatest challenges is working with these unbelievable intelligent marine mammals such as Orcas, Dolphins, Whales. Our unique technology and our know-how have enabled us to do this and retain customers all over the world from Alaska to Norway, from Asia to South America.

Our future

Because of our research on marine life for more than two decades and the growing interaction between humans and these great animals, new markets open every time. At this moment we have started research on salmon farms, which are conflicting with Seals and Seabirds which are conflicting with different kinds of fishery. As always we are looking for sustainable solutions beneficial for both worlds. Our mission is untouched since day one, which is to end negative interactions between marine life and human activity. Our goal is to continue with this mission and to create, innovate and develop for many years to come.

FlowFood sets the new standard in the food industry

FlowFood sets the new standard in the food industry.

EASY. HEALTHY. TASTY.

FlowFood sets the new standard in the food industry.

FlowFood just opened its doors in the energetic and vibrant neighborhood Amsterdam-Zuid, the Netherlands. The FlowFood place has enough room to eat and relax, but is also conveniently situated for take-away. The products, ingredients and philosophy of FlowFood is that you feel good about what you eat and also what you leave behind. We provide delicious food, consisting of pure ingredients with a high nutritional value, from fair partners, together with a great attention to a minimal ‘foodprint’. Sustainable ingredients, minimal waste in the supply chain and no plastic packaging. We care about you and our environment!

PURE FOOD

In terms of food, people have lost their way. Food in general has been processed to such an extent to bring the cost down that the nutritional value and the flavor are lost (or artificially created). In addition, the earth is becoming exhausted and the damage caused by the wrong food and pollution from packaging is enormous. On the other hand, good food is easy if you go back to the natural way of growing, catching and breeding (slow food) and let your own body guide you in what you need.

OUR DREAM WORLD.

We see a world where…healthy, tasty and easy food does not have to be more expensive than fast food and that we can be an example of responsible entrepreneurship. Our dream is to…to build a national chain of FLOWFOOD Places with which we make fair, pure and healthy food available to everyone. We contribute to a better world by putting Flow Food on the map and by setting an immediately visible example of sustainable business operations in everything.

FlowFood is food that makes you feel good!

Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year

Dear business friends and partners,

2020 is coming to an end and what a crazy year this has been. Not only for you and me, not only for our businesses, but for the entire world. We all know the damage this virus has done this year, so we won’t go into detail on it. Instead we want to focus this short message on something we are really grateful for.

It was a difficult year and that is why we want to reflect on the fact that we are so grateful with you as our business friends and partners. One of our company values ​​is Fair Partnership in Friendship and this year has shown once again the importance of that. We want to thank everyone of you for your cooperation, resilience and warm hearted faith this past year. On behalf of everyone here at the Orange Pearl innovation group, we want to wish you a very healthy, happy and successful 2021.

Happy and healthy holidays to you and those dear to you.

How to flourish in a proces of growth?

How to flourish in a proces of growth?

An introduction of the grow and flourish concept

The importance of growth

Meetings are most of the time based on growth. Questions like “What are the goals?” and “What’s the plan behind these goals?” are an other way of saying; “Where do we as an organisation grow towards?” and “How do we make sure that we grow in accordance with the plans made?”

These types of questions are important for the development of the company. Without growth, a company can’t be sustainable nor be profitable.

However, we strongly believe that growth isn’t everything. Growth takes a lot of energy and what’s the point of all this growth, if there’s no flourishing that follows all the hard work? Without it there is no time to replenish your energy. So, that is why we work with the Grow and Flourish Concept. In nature growing and flourishing are always in balance and alternate each other. We believe in business this should be the same and that by doing so, you will be only more successful!

So how do we alternate growing with flourishing?

Flourishing is about celebrating the goals that are accomplished as well as a way of bringing everyone in the company closer together. Flourishing gives and stores energy. We as Orange Pearl flourish in various ways.

Taking the meetings as an example. Every quarter we have a meeting with all our companies to showcase where they stand in relation to their annual objectives and what they will focus on in the coming quarter to eventually grow towards the goals set for that year. The subjects we discuss are almost always based on growth. These meetings are important and intensive, but we don’t want our collegues to come out of the meeting feeling drained from energy. We want them to feel motivated and ready for the new quarter! That’s why we make sure that we always implement a fun and excited flourishing touch to our meetings. There are lots of ways to do this.

Like with our last meeting we all made our own terrarium. The workshop was given by the local plant shop Groene Vingers from Delft. They showed us how to make a self-sustaining terrarium in which our plants could grow and flourish. How suitable, right? Making these terariums and working with our hands brought everyone closer together and balanced the intensity of the meeting. This also makes looking back at the meeting more memorable and a lot more fun.

Other ways we have added a flourishing touch to our meetings, was by doing a variety of other activities, like sport events, playing various games on a beach or cooking a meal together.

The results

Working with the grow and flourish concept isn’t just for the fun of it. It’s also a way to get to know everyone in the company better. It’s like a teambuilding day; but not just once a year. It helps with the wellbeing of the employees and getting and keeping everybody motivated and involved. It doesn’t just impact the meeting, it impacts the way of working all together.
