Reporting framework

We are preparing detailed reporting on our material aspects according to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by setting up a dedicated reporting team, evaluating policies and procedures, and defining scope, targets, metrics and action plans as needed. Additionally, we are evaluating reporting systems to ensure a robust data collection process. We expect to report in line with EU Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) for the 2024 fiscal year.

The current sustainability report provides the non-financial information required by articles 3:6 § 4 and 3:32 § 2 of the Belgian Companies Code. For a discussion on risks, please see the section on Risk factors in the Annual Report.

To standardize our 2023 data collection, we use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, as our reference framework to link our material aspects to areas of engagement. The SDGs were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and strive to ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.
