International pay-TV company Irdeto are excited by plans to move office sites while remaining within Hoofddorp in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. The office will be the headquarters for the western world while an office in Beijing, China, is the Asian headquarters.
According to Irdeto, the move is considered an upgrade from their existing office in Hoofddorp, and demonstrates a commitment by the company to the Netherlands, and the Amsterdam Area in particular, by making this location the company’s western headquarters.
Irdeto has grown strongly in recent years and expects continued growth in the future.
The new office in Hoofddorp is an example of Irdeto's new methodology of working – eco-friendly while adding economic value, with high quality IT solutions to reduce the need for travel and saving energy. In addition, the office has state-of-the-art technology that helps keep the energy consumption for heating the building to a minimum.
Thought to the environment was paramount when designing the building that includes 100 percent sustainable wood while the carpet and wall decoration consists of recycled materials. Situated opposite the railway station and with plenty of bike racks available to employees, providing access to sustainable travel has also been a priority.
"A total of 114,000m2 of premises will be built according to the C2C concept," says Kees Noorman, developer of Delta Development Group and responsible for Park 20|20. "That will make it Europe's largest sustainable business area so far."
The Hoofddorp office is at Park 20|20, located in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, a part of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. The park and Irdeto’s new office is truly unique because it is one or the few offices that is built according to the C2C (Cradle to Cradle) principles, as defined by the German-American architecture duo Michael Braungart and William McDonough.
