Innovating for a sustainable future: Highlights from Cegeka's ESG Inspiration Day in Antwerp

Our first ESG Inspiration Day that was held in Antwerp (Belgium) was a success. The event united industry leaders, partners, and our dedicated team to discuss, explore, and share the latest trends and best practices in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. We showcased how ESG data and AI capabilities can be integrated using Microsoft’s Cloud for Sustainability as the foundation.

The day was filled with insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and valuable networking opportunities. Cegeka had the pleasure of hosting speakers from both Pantarein and Terra Reporting, who shared their expertise and experience in driving sustainable practices within customer organizations. 

One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of one of our latest ESG projects and initiatives. The team showcased the innovative solutions and approach chosen by one of our customers to capture, transform and report on their sustainability efforts, including the integration of advanced reporting tools and the adoption of eco-friendly practices across their operations. The attendees were particularly impressed with the comprehensive approach we have taken to address ESG challenges, and the positive impact these initiatives have had on both adopting and awareness of the ESG topic within their day-to-day operations and business environment.
