🌟 Throwback to inspirational Technical Days 2024! 🌟 More than 200 of our colleagues in Construction & Renovation of CFE came together for the Technical Days, centered around the theme: Powering sustainability 💚, brick by brick 🧱.

Our BENELMAT sa - nv colleagues hosted this year’s event at their site in Gembloux. They did the extra mile to make us feel welcome. The venue was extraordinary 🙏🏻 Isabelle De Bruyne, Chief Sustainability Officer, and sponsor of the event, looks back with satisfaction: “The event was a great success, packed with inspiration, practical applications, and opportunities to create a sustainable impact on our projects. The afternoon featured a series of workshops highlighting the critical role of sustainability throughout the lifecycle of a building - from concept to construction, maintenance, renovation, revalorisation and demolition. Sustainability is a must, that’s for sure. Yet, we are all committed to change the way we operate in our sector and we have the potential to do so. Together with our talented teams, our clients and partners we are changing for good for the sake of future generations. 🌍 ” 🙏 Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this 2024 edition happen. We could not have done it without this team! 💚 🙏 Special thanks to our external speakers: ♻️ Ophélie van Steenberge, who engaged the audience in a workshop concerning Unilin’s circular approach to reuse of wood waste, in collaboration with Benelmat. 🧱 Marc Leysen and Stéphanie Tibbaut, who told us all about the innovative Vandersanden CO2 negative facade stone. #ChangingForGood #HeroesForGood #TechnicalDays2024 #pulsebyCFE #Circularity #SustainableBuilding #PassionForConstruction Video credits: SIXSHOOTER - videoproducties
