Mission
Mission: Safeguarding and promoting public health and environmental quality
Description:
RIVM has expanded to become a knowledge institute at the centre of Dutch society, advising on health and environment. In our role as trusted advisor, we provide government with impartial advice on infectious diseases, vaccination, population screening, life style, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, environment, sustainability and safety. We carry out studies, provide advice and recommendations, and direct and implement prevention and control responses.
Our work is primarily commissioned by Dutch ministries and inspectorates and projects are also undertaken within international frameworks, such as the European Union and United Nations. We have many national and international partners, and are continuing to build new networks in multidisciplinary cooperation.
Cooperation with other organisations enables us to combine strengths and to develop new knowledge and expertise. We are committed to supporting government and society in improving health and the environment. Now and in the future.

Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
