For the environment

We are committed to halving our CO2 emissions by 2030.  We are mindful of our impact on biodiversity and other finite planetary resources, so we have used the Sustainable Development Goals as a guide to organise our activities.

• All production is based in Belgium
• Materials are chosen based on their degree of circularity (reuse, recycling and/or life cycle)
• A 2,500 m² solar panel installation supplies more than half our energy needs
• A carbon assessment completed for our activities
• Raising awareness among our teams about environmental issues (theweek.ooo)

For our colleagues

We are convinced that our business can only shine if our teammates do too, so we look after our culture. We want to enable every teammate to grow within the business by encouraging them to be autonomous, take responsibility and acquire new skills. All in a positive spirit aimed at fostering strong relationships and involving collective intelligence. 

A few examples

• Our teams choose their own managers.
• Our meetings are led by in-house facilitators, ensuring that decisions are taken smoothly and collectively.
• We are trained in positive communication and a culture of feedback which encourages transparency and trust.

These are all activities that enable everyone to feel valued and respected while maximising our collective’s potential and hence its impact.
