Femke Groothuis is Founder and President of The Ex’tax Project, a think tank focused on the transformation of fiscal systems to create jobs and sustainable growth. The foundation creates practical tools that enhance understanding of the dynamics of a tax shift from labour to natural resource use and pollution.
Her latest study in cooperation with Deloitte, EY, KPMG Meijburg, PwC, Cambridge Econometrics and Trucost presents a fiscal strategy for an inclusive and circular economy in the European Union. (www.neweranewplan.com). This study demonstrates that a tax shift aligns fiscal systems with the Global Goals and EU policy targets.
