Roetz-Bikes

Roetz-Bikes is a sustainable, social, and circular bicycle company based in The Netherlands. Established in 2011, the company has gained recognition for its commitment to creating an inclusive and circular society. Roetz specializes in producing bicycles using reused parts from orphaned bikes, offering employment and training opportunities in an industry with a growing demand for skilled labor. One of the company's notable achievements is winning the circular award in 2022. Their last investment of €1.80M in a Seed Round on 16 May 2022 saw participation from Veth Investments, Alexander van Citters, and Pim Claassen as investors. The company's focus on social impact is evident in their efforts to provide job opportunities to individuals with limited employment prospects. Their Fair Factory in Amsterdam serves as a testament to their belief in second chances and their dedication to promoting a circular and inclusive future. Furthermore, Roetz demonstrates their commitment to their social mission by setting specific targets, such as ensuring that 10 employees are offered a 24-hour work contract for at least a year. They seek to challenge the perception of individuals with vulnerabilities and prove their capability to thrive in the traditional job market. With a strong emphasis on both environmental and social objectives, Roetz-Bikes exemplifies the potential for business and social impact to coexist harmoniously.
