Sustainability

In 2015, in the wake of COP21 which saw the birth of the Paris Climate Agreement, a group of committed colleagues launched the Green Movement to raise awareness within the company of the importance of reducing its carbon footprint.

In 2022, in line with the new Sustainability strategy and the concerning state of the world, this movement is rising from its ashes after it ran out of steam during the pandemic. Today, its missions and ambitions not only encompass the ecological transition but also to the broader theme of Regeneration.

Each Ethias employee is free to join the new ReGeneration Movement and to make a change on society and the planet. Every day and every action, no matter how small, can make a difference in creating a better future.

In 2023, the ReGeneration Movement, Ethias' in-house community dedicated to sustainability, continued to expand internally and offer sustainability-related activities. It is made up of around a hundred employees committed to sustainability and willing to take concrete action in an active way:

- Partnership with the “Coopérative Ardente” (a cooperative offering more than 800 locally produced, bio and/or fair-trade food and household products)

- Reforestation Day: « Forest in One Day »

- "Be WaPP" spring clean-up event

- Range of sustainable teambuilding activities

- Bike tours

- Corporate challenge - Green IT (cleaning up mailboxes and reducing e-mails)

- Inspiring conferences

- A jumble sale (clothes and toys)
