Sustainability day 2023

Welcome to our pioneering Sustainability Event in Belgium, a groundbreaking initiative bringing together leading utility companies from the drinking water, gas, and hydrogen sectors. Our focus today is not just on the future, but on shaping it responsibly through Green tenders. As we gather here, our collective vision is clear – to redefine sustainability in our industries and contribute significantly to a net-zero journey.

Understanding the impact of our actions is at the core of our discussion. We'll delve into how the footprint of production, transport, and adherence to ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards profoundly influence the sustainability of Piping Systems.

We believe in the power of tools like Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Ecovadis certificates, which enable us to 'compare apples with apples' – a methodology essential for informed decision-making and transparent, responsible practices.

Each one of you here today is not just a participant but a vital partner in this journey towards a sustainable future. Your commitment and actions are the keystones in building a greener tomorrow.

We are also honoured to have esteemed guest speakers who are champions of sustainability.

Gaëlle Pannier from Ineos and Hannu Toivonen from Helsinki Water will share their valuable insights and experiences, guiding us further in our quest for sustainable excellence.

Together, let's embark on this transformative journey, uniting our efforts, expertise, and visions for a more sustainable world.

Your presence here is not just valued; it's instrumental in shaping a better future for us all.
