This month marks 150 years since Vinçotte was officially founded...

Because of the Green Deal, more and more customers and governments will be asking for proof of how sustainable their activities are. And the ways in which you have to demonstrate this are increasingly set out in regulations. The European framework is also evolving for hydrogen.

Hydrogen, compared to natural gas, has a number of properties that make it more dangerous. So, a risk analysis is extremely important. Given the high risk, all scenarios where something can go wrong should be considered and covered.

Vinçotte supports companies in drawing up an environmental permit application and in preparing and elaborating studies preceding that application. These include an environmental safety report or supplementary environmental and safety studies.

Now that the Belgian competition authorities have given their approval, Vinçotte is officially part of the Kiwa group.

Today, it is estimated that close to 150 million tonnes of plastic are in the ocean. This number is only predicted to increase in the coming decades, even overtaking the biomass of fish by 2050. As plastic breaks down and penetrates living organisms, it disrupts their natural cycles… and also ends up on our plates.

As for the billions of tonnes of plastic remaining on land, a mere 7 to 10% are being recycled1. The rest ends up in massive landfills, pollutes the soils, or is burned – releasing dangerous toxins into the air and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing CO2 emissions is a challenge that we as humanity face. More and more companies are therefore taking necessary step towards "CO2 neutrality". In other words, they ensure that their CO2 emissions are calculated in a Carbon Footprint and reduced as much as possible until they are neutral. Read in this whitepaper how your company can take the step to become a CO2 Neutral company.
