Our history
Bij Scholt staan diversiteit, gelijkheid en inclusie centraal. Verschillende perspectieven versterken onze cultuur en stimuleren innovatie. Zo creëren we een omgeving waarin iedereen zich welkom voelt en samen kan groeien.
Scholt Energy was founded in 2005 with a simple conviction: companies should be able to understand and influence their own energy decisions. At a time dominated by long-term and inflexible contracts, we opened access to both the Spot and Futures Markets, giving businesses unprecedented flexibility and transparency. From day one, our mission has been clear: empowering companies to take control of their energy.
