At MTE, we strongly believe that businesses have a profound responsibility to operate in a way that respects and preserves the environment, supports social equity and contributes positively to economic development. Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in every aspect of our operations and decision-making processes.

We recognize that sustainable practices are not only essential for mitigating environmental impact but also for fostering long-term business resilience and growth. By integrating sustainability into our core values, we aim to set a precedent for responsible corporate citizenship and inspire positive change within our industry and community.

For us, sustainability means more than just compliance with regulations; it represents a proactive approach to addressing global challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality. It drives innovation and drives us to continually seek new ways to minimize our environmental footprint, promote social well-being and ensure economic prosperity for future generations.

Thus, we are excited to share that MTE is embarking on a journey towards sustainable entrepreneurship. Our dedication motivates us to continuously commit into creating value and into contributing to the common good at local, regional, national, European and global levels.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the United Nations in 2015, provide a clear and comprehensive framework for promoting global prosperity and protecting the planet. These goals aim to eradicate poverty and to move the world towards sustainability by 2030. We believe that every business has a vital role to play in achieving these goals. We are therefore committed to integrate them into our business practices.

In partnership with the Walloon Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CCI Wallonie), we have the opportunity to enhance our sustainable efforts through a structured certification process. This process includes two significant certifications:

1. CCI Wallonie Certification for Sustainable Entrepreneurship: Over the course of one year, we will implement a comprehensive sustainable development plan. This plan will involve at least 10 new or improved actions, addressing each of the five key areas associated with the 17 SDGs: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership.
2. UNITAR (United Nations Institute for Training and Research) Certification: This prestigious certification will be awarded if we successfully undertake at least one action in each of the 17 SDGs over a continuous period of three years.

By pursuing these certifications, we are not only committing to sustainable practices but also promoting the importance of addressing global challenges. Businesses that prioritize sustainability contribute to the well-being of their communities and the planet. They attract like-minded partners, suppliers, and customers who value ethical and responsible practices.

Currently, MTE is in the first year of this three-year certification process. We are looking forward to sharing our progress and achievements in the realm of sustainable development. If you are interested in learning more about our sustainability initiatives or discussing how we can collaborate on sustainable practices, we would be happy to engage in a conversation with you.

Join us on this exciting journey as we work towards creating a sustainable future for all. By working together, we can make a significant impact and contribute to a better world. Stay tuned for updates on our progress and the positive impact we aim to make.
