Thanks to the growing awareness around ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), the decision-making process of companies is increasingly influenced by matters like energy consumption, climate, health, safety and good corporate governance. ESG seeks for an equilibrium between financial economic results, transparency, social interests and the environment without losing the balance between them. It should therefore be no surprise that also the tax authorities are stimulating tax payers (more specifically companies) to greening their company car fleet by allowing a higher tax deduction for so-called ‘green cars’ and disallowing the deduction of ‘fuel cars’ going further. Next to the tax impact, the greenification of the company car fleet offers opportunities to create added value for companies, climate and their people from an innovation perspective.

In the business world, there is an evolution from ‘sustainability’, in the past often associated with environmental objectives, to the broader concept of ‘ESG’. ESG stands for ‘Environmental, Social and Governance’, and includes items such as energy efficiency, carbon footprint, availability of raw materials in the production cycle, health & safety on the work floor, board remuneration, corporate governance, etc.

How do you prepare your organisation step-by-step for a sustainable future, from the very beginning to the first sustainability report?

There is no knowing what the future has in store for us. Sometimes fate can strike in ways we would not wish for and we find ourselves in a situation in which we are no longer able to manage our capital ourselves. For an entrepreneur this can have a major impact, not only on your personal capital but also on (the continuity of) your business. A healthcare power of attorney might allay your worries.

A new set of rules has recently entered into force for your company, i.e. the new Belgian Code of Companies and Associations (the ‘CCA’). This means that every company, non-profit organisation or foundation will have to amend its articles of association in order to bring them in line with the provisions of the new CCA. The new CCA, however, does not only bring obligations, but also many (flexible) opportunities. It will also give you the opportunity to make progress in the areas of digitalisation and modernisation.
