"I
want STX to be a place where you are constantly challenged and where you
develop and learn more than at any other environmental commodity house. There is
an incredible amount of collective knowledge and experience in this company and
this is what sets us apart. STX FOrward is our way to bring this
knowledge and experience to all our employees, helping to accelerate your development, and build upon the learnings from your direct
manager or team."
- Marijn van Diessen
"Experience, by definition, is always enhancing us. It can be easy or difficult, nice or tough, but it always allows you to grow.
Therefore learning, experiencing and sharing your knowledge in an environment of likeminded individuals is one of the most rewarding things I can think of.
That is why we created STX FOrward, a platform
that allows you to consciously participate and create your growth journey
together with fellow STX’ers."
- Maciej Antczak
- Diederik Francoys
"In the early days, we learned every step of the trade by
doing it ourselves - building new markets, even drafting our deal
confirmations in Word. We continuously stretched our limits, executing trades beyond our initial funding capability, all to become a global champion
in environmental markets. Our success is driven by ambitious people who take initiative, and never stop learning. Every day I
continue to learn from colleagues, successful trades, and new
mistakes that strengthen our collective expertise. STX Forward is a platform to share experience, accelerating your development and pushing boundaries as we always have."
