Practice what you preach. Sustainability is in Factor4's DNA. Not only do we help others reduce their energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, we do it ourselves. Factor4 is a CO₂-neutral organization: we limit our own emissions as much as possible and offset the remaining emissions through a sustainable climate project.
How do we minimize our CO₂ emissions?
- We try to keep car use to a minimum. We do most of our travelling by public transport or bicycle. We make maximum use of the combination of train + BlueBike/folding bike, electric (shared) cars or carpooling.
- We consciously choose an office located just 5-minute walk from Antwerp Central Station (Mobiscore 9.9/10).
- We use a shared office where resources are shared with other entrepreneurs: common kitchen, meeting rooms, printers, and scanners. This helps limit our impact in terms of material and space usage.
- We embrace the principle of the paperless office and have built an IT infrastructure that allows full electronic management of projects.
Using Regreener's Footprint Navigator, we calculated our carbon emissions and more than offset them by participating in a sustainable climate project. We support tree planting in Zambia to contribute to a healthier climate. More information about this project: https://regreener.earth/nl/projecten/bomen-groeien-in-zambia

From 1 January, fuel suppliers will have to track and report their fossil fuel purchases. This is a crucial preparatory step. ETS2 will become fully operational in 2027. While the exact consequences are not yet entirely clear, one thing is certain: fossil fuels will become significantly more expensive.
The Agency for Nature and Forests (ANB) is taking an important step towards a sustainable and efficiently managed real estate heritage. With a thorough inventory and a strategic real estate plan, Factor4 is helping them on their way to climate neutrality by 2050. How do we tackle this? Find out here!
