Crowne Plaza Brussels le Palace becomes an Eco Dynamic Company
Created in 1999 by the IBGE, the “Eco-dynamic company” label gives official recognition for the good environmental practices of Brussels companies, especially concerning waste disposal, energy consumption and the rational use of raw materials.
This label is meant to emphasise the connections between the environment and the economy, and to stimulate the voluntary commitment of companies to engage in a gradual process of improving their environmental performance for more sustainable development.
To correspond to this gradual approach concerning eco-management, the label is awarded at three progressive levels, from one to three stars.
