On 20 September, SCK•CEN made a deal with nature. Jointly with more than 110 other companies, Peter Baeten, SCK•CEN Deputy Director-General, signed the Green deal “Companies and biodiversity”.
The ‘Green deal’ is an initiative of Flemish Minister for Environment Joke Schauvliege to green companies and sectors with a view to preserving local fauna and flora. By signing the Green deal, companies commit to launch a green project. On 20 September, SCK•CEN, together with more than 110 other companies, made this promise.
SCK•CEN wants to create a beautiful Campine landscape by stimulating the typical fauna and flora found in the region and, in doing so, to increase biodiversity. “Not only is it worth it for nature, but it is also profitable for all employees and visitors who can enjoy a green environment”, states Peter Baeten, SCK•CEN Deputy Director-General.
