At the Terrasse O2, we create an ephemeral setting in the centre of Brussels. When you arrive, you will feel like you are on holiday, having a good time with friends, colleagues or family. And every year, we strive to make this project evolve in order to surprise you but also to take advantage of all the new means that allow us to protect what surrounds us.

Indeed, we are committed to taking care of the site that welcomes us, in particular by taking care to preserve its nature.

This year, we wanted to pay particular attention to the treatment of waste throughout the season. To this end, we have further strengthened our collaboration with our environmental partner Renewi. Renewi has been active in the field of waste collection, processing and recycling for many years and is now able to recycle almost 90% of the waste it collects, thanks to ongoing technical innovations and developments.

In order to further improve the treatment and quality of waste sorting, we have installed selective sorting bins on the Terrasse O2 site.

We strongly encourage you to use them when you visit our site. You thus participate in the success of our commitment…

Moreover, because we measure the great chance that we have to benefit from such a nature in the heart of the capital, we believe that it is our responsibility to preserve it. It is therefore essential that all our visitors participate in keeping this exceptional place clean and preserving its wildlife. We therefore ask you not to leave any rubbish on or around the car park.

We are aware that an event is a powerful lever for change. Indeed, by gathering a large number of people in one place we have the opportunity to reach a large audience quickly. Our wish is to make our visitors aware of the challenges of sustainable development, to exchange, to debate and to use our Terrace as a laboratory to test new ways of doing things, new models and new technologies.

In this spirit and in order to be the best informed, we have contacted the UCM (Union des Classes Moyennes) – environment department – which answers free of charge the questions sent to it by SMEs & self-employed people and which concern in particular the legal obligations incumbent on them in terms of the environment, pollution prevention, water management, waste and atmospheric emissions.

In addition, we have joined the “evenementresponsable.fr” community, an online platform that advises companies in the events sector on 4 important areas: responsibility at every level (producer, supplier, transporter, set-up, etc.), the sustainability of the materials and products used, eco-design and the environmental protection of sites.

Finally, we decided to support “Reforest’Action” which allows companies and individuals to act for Man and the Environment by planting trees online and measure the positive impact.

The Terrasse O2 has planted 4000 trees in Haiti.

Thanks to the support of its members, Reforest’Action plants up to 100,000 trees per year in France, Senegal, Haiti, Peru, Ecuador and Guatemala. By planting a tree with Reforest’Action, we act on the climate, biodiversity, the living conditions of populations in difficulty, for ourselves, others and future generations… Trees allow us to :

• fight against climate change by storing CO2 ;
• stop desertification by hydrating the soil ;
• preserve biodiversity, which provides innumerable ecological services;
• develop the economy of the territories.

•  To maintain and develop a working tool in compliance with ecological and eco-responsible standards so that FDHprod is a model of green enterprise in the short term.
• Eco-design of activities,
• Work with seasonal products.
• Encourage proactive waste management.
  
• Optimise staff travel and encourage carpooling.
• Favouring partners and suppliers committed to similar approaches.
  
• Continuously improve our business in the face of the ecological challenge.
