On 24 June 2025, Carpentier was once again awarded the Voka Charter for Sustainable Enterprise (VCDO). Receiving this distinction has by now become an annual tradition that reinforces our structural commitment to sustainability, innovation and future-focused enterprise.

At Carpentier, sustainable enterprise is more than an intention. It forms a fundamental part of our ecological vision on building, which we consistently carry through in our production processes and product development.

Over the past working year, our focus included, among other things:

  • Expansion of our timber-frame construction department: purchase of a new site and a new timber-frame construction machine
  • Reducing wrapping film consumption by handling packaging more intelligently
  • Collaboration with Mobility Coach to make commuting sustainable
  • Participation in the Innovation Wall at the Circular Materials Center of POM West Flanders
  • Setting up the Carpentier Academy
  • Purchase of an additional company bicycle for journeys between the two sites
  • Supporting technical schools through collaboration with RTC
  • Strengthening digital security
Earning this charter is, on this occasion too, not an end point but an incentive to keep investing in sustainable growth. Over the coming year we are once again committing to ambitious, sustainable objectives within the VCDO framework," says Heidi Carpentier, who proudly accepted the certificate.
