Doing events differently

At The EGG Brussels, we believe that the way an event is organised matters.

Our impact goes beyond what happens on stage. It includes the energy we use, the resources we consume, the waste we generate, the way people travel, the food we serve and the partners we choose to work with.

Our approach is simple: measure where we can, take concrete action and keep improving.

Sustainability is not a finished project. It is an ongoing process that we integrate into the way we manage our venue and work with our clients, suppliers and partners. This corresponds closely to the commitments in the Environmental Policy: reducing the environmental footprint while continuously reviewing operational practices and ways of working.

Turning commitments into action

Energy

More than 1,000 solar panels have been installed on the roof of The EGG since 2017, providing a local source of renewable energy. The venue also operates a cogeneration system, enabling more efficient combined heat and electricity production.

100% of the electricity supplied to The EGG through the building’s energy contract comes from renewable sources.

Waste

We work to reduce waste at source and strengthen sorting, reuse and recycling.

A structured four-stream waste sorting system separates residual waste, plastics, cardboard and glass, with post-event checks helping ensure that the system is correctly applied.

Responsible purchasing

What we buy – and who we work with – matters too.

We are progressively integrating environmental, social and governance criteria into our purchasing decisions and supplier relationships, while encouraging responsible, local and transparent practices.

This includes the development of a Supplier Code of Conduct incorporating ESG criteria and a responsible office-supplies approach favouring eco-labelled products.

Working together

We cannot improve the impact of events alone.

That is why we maintain an ongoing dialogue with clients, caterers, technical suppliers, business partners, institutions and non-profit organisations to share responsible practices and develop practical solutions together.

Internally, our teams also receive targeted training and take part in discussions around environmental best practices, supported where relevant by external specialists.

Our ambition is not to claim that everything is perfect, but to keep learning, measuring and improving.
