The BRDA: Two stars in the firmament!

In December 2001, the IBGE gave the "Eco-dynamic Company" label to 23 Brussels companies within the framework of sustainable development. Among them, the BRDA received “one star” for its registered office. This label was renewed in 2004, in recognition of our company’s dynamism.
In 2007, our good environmental practices and the results we achieved allowed us to obtain “two stars”!

The BRDA, on the Milky Way…

To obtain this recognition from the IBGE, first of all the BRDA worked for the replacement of all the lighting, the installation of presence detectors in certain rooms, providing free STIB and MTB passes, equipping a secured room for bicycles, choosing 100% recycled paper etc. and to obtain the second star the BRDA added the implementation of a large number of new measures in the course of the last three years.
All these new actions had a measurable result, and made it possible to reduce our consumption of gas, electricity, water, paper and cleaning products and to set up pilot projects in eco-construction: the service Pavilion at the Galilei industrial site and the "Midi-Suède" housing development project, and to launch the drawing up of a Mobility Zoning Plan at the Galilei and Mercator industrial sites.

For the next three years, the new environmental programme will be focused on the following priorities:
- the reduction of paper consumption,
- the improvement of the quality of small office items, the improvement and the reduction of the number of cleaning products,
- the replacement of the fleet of vehicles, aiming at the best possible ecological performance,
- the subject of mobility, both for our registered office and the staff who work there and for the sites that we manage,
- raising the awareness of the companies on our sites concerning the advantages of an “Eco-dynamic Company” label.

Today the BRDA is committing itself to being very active during the next three years in order to keep its "two stars". A third star can certainly be contemplated!
