Yesterday we were proud to receive the Voka Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship for the sixth consecutive year. Congratulations to all the other laureates and thank you to the Voka – Kamer Antwerpen Waasland for this fantastic recognition. We are delighted with this award, and we view it as motivation to continue on our sustainability path.
This certificate is therefore the icing on the cake of a year full of sustainability efforts, which included:
- Installing 450 solar panels to generate renewable energy
- Achieving the Sporting Company label from Sport Vlaanderen
- A Dripl vending machine in our Sint-Niklaas office for filtered tap water and packaging-free and healthier soft drinks
- ….
Because we at #teamsbe also like to look ahead, we want to work on sustainability again in 2024. Because of the great ideas of #teamsbe, our new action plan is already on the table. We will therefore focus on reducing the impact of our core activities in 2024.

Breaking the age barrier: how SBE turns experience into a competitive advantage
22/08/2025At 70 years old, Lubov Izbash comes to the office every morning full of enthusiasm. The architect, trained in both Russia and Belgium and having worked at engineering firm SBE for nearly two decades, embodies a ready-made solution to Belgium’s staff shortage. “Architecture is my work and my passion,” Lubov explains, her eyes lighting up as she talks about her latest projects. “I still feel young here every day, even at 70. Some even consider me a real workaholic!” she laughs. Her story and energy challenge every assumption about older employees in today’s fast-paced economy.
