Workshops Belgian Awards for Sustainability Reports
Every year, the Belgian Institute of Registered Auditors (IBR - IRE) organises the Belgian Awards for Sustainability Reports (BAS). This initiative, in which FIDO-IFDD participates as jury member, aims to raise awareness among Belgian companies and organisations about the importance of sustainability reporting and of promoting the exchange of best practices in this field.
The BAS 2024 winners were previously announced and can be consulted here: Winners BAS 2024.
In addition to the awards ceremony, IBR-IRE offers a series of online workshops as part of the Belgian Awards for Sustainability Reports. These workshops aim to further support companies and organisations in their sustainability efforts. The sessions, held online each time from 12:00 to 13:30, offer both technical and practical content. Organisations that have already acquired expertise in integrating ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria will share their experiences and highlight the challenges and opportunities.
The workshops are completely free of charge, but registration is required to receive the link for participation. The topics that will be covered, as well as the scheduled dates, are listed below.
More information on the workshops and how to register is available on the BAS website.
