Meet BergHOFF, one of Belgium’s most promising sustainable companies

Closely cooperating with BergHOFF Worldwide to design and produce sustainable, inclusive and innovative collections from recycled and energy-friendly materials, BergHOFF Belgium is contributing to building the sustainable cooking and kitchen world of tomorrow. 

BergHOFF Belgium is also a proud pledger of the Covenant of Companies, which proves their dedication to achieving a climate neutral future. 

We sat down with Hilde Rutten, CEO of BergHOFF Belgium, to talk about the company’s experience as a member of the Covenant of Companies’ community. 

Why did BergHOFF decide to become a pledger of the CCCE?

"At BergHOFF Belgium, we recognise the urgency of addressing climate change and the pivotal role that businesses play in driving sustainable practices. Joining the CCCE aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility and serves as a proactive step toward mitigating our carbon footprint. 

By submitting a pledge with the CCCE, we signify our dedication to taking tangible actions to reduce our carbon emissions. In return, we appreciate the knowledge and support that CCCE offers, as it empowers us to make informed decisions on the measures we can adopt to contribute meaningfully to the decarbonisation journey. 

Becoming a CCCE signatory not only demonstrates our commitment to sustainability but also grants us access to valuable resources and guidance. This collaborative approach ensures that companies like ours receive the necessary support to implement effective measures that align with our environmental goals."

How has joining the CCCE benefited your company?

"In alignment with the United Nations Championship theme of "Sustainable Business Model Development via SDGs," BergHOFF Belgium is actively engaged in crafting and implementing a robust CO2 measurement dashboard. This instrumental tool not only aids in our internal sustainability goals but is also designed for dissemination among key stakeholders, fostering a shared commitment to environmental stewardship. 

The assistance provided by the CCCE in the development of our CO2 measurement dashboard is invaluable. CCCE’s expertise has been pivotal in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and comprehensiveness of the tool. Their collaboration underscores our commitment to employing industry-leading practices in our sustainability endeavours."
