Twice a year, we organise a collective planting event. Various companies can purchase a limited number of trees, and then we all go to a single location to plant a collective corporate forest. This was also the case in February 2025, when we made the industrial area in The Loop in Ghent a lot greener.

Saturday 22th of February 2025

Why plant one tree when you can plant 1,000? And why plant alone when you can plant together?

That is the thinking behind our biannual collective planting activities: we rally a large number of companies to plant trees together in a collective corporate forest: the forest belongs to each company in a way. But more importantly, a new piece of greenery has been created in an urbanised area, and each participant rightly feels that they have contributed to this.

In February 2025, we joined forces with Erfgoed & Visie, Interalu, Ikea, Yuki and numerous other companies to create such a collective corporate forest in The Loop in Ghent.

This fits in seamlessly with the City of Ghent's vision of turning The Loop into a green, vibrant urban district.

We are happy to let the employees of the companies speak for themselves. Watch this video on YouTube (Dutch):
