ACA Group receives ‘Baanbrekende Werkgever 2025’ certification for the third consecutive year 🎉

We are proud to receive the prestigious ‘Baanbrekende Werkgever’ label for the third consecutive year. This certification, awarded by Antwerp Management School, highlights our commitment to sustainable mobility and a people-centered HR policy.

As a Baanbrekende Werkgever, we continue to invest in a forward-thinking work and mobility policy, with a focus on people. Our three-year journey shows how we have grown step by step in this area:

A Sustainable Three-Year Journey

Year 1: Green mobility
In our first year, we focused on making our mobility solutions more sustainable. We encouraged using (e-)bikes, shared vehicles, and public transport. We transitioned to environmentally-friendly alternatives such as electric vehicles for employees who still opted for a car. Our goal? To have 98% of our fleet emission-free by 2025.

Year 2: Wellbeing policy
In the second year, the focus shifted to the wellbeing of our employees. We developed initiatives to strengthen team cohesion and created an environment where employees feel heard and supported. Healthy and happy teams are, after all, the key to success.

Year 3: Talent development
This year, we focused on establishing a sustainable career policy. This includes:

  • Encouraging the professional growth of our employees.
  • Offering transparency about learning and growth opportunities within our organization.
  • Promoting and utilizing each individual's unique talents.

We believe that investing in talent development helps employees grow and makes our organization stronger and more future-proof.

The Champion Sessions, which were part of the Baanbrekende Werkgever program, was an incredibly valuable experience. They allowed us to get inspiration from companies like DPG Media and Aquafin. During these interactive sessions, HR professionals shared valuable insights and ideas, which was truly inspiring.

Looking to the future

With the ‘Baanbrekende Werkgever 2025’ recognition, we are taking another important step on our journey towards sustainability. We see it as our responsibility to contribute not only to a more sustainable planet but also to a promising future.

Participating in the Baanbrekende Werkgever program gave us the opportunity to share knowledge and experiences with other organizations integrating sustainability into their HR policies. This allowed us to better understand our challenges and take concrete steps towards future-oriented talent development.
