Environment & Health

At Umicore Bruges, we believe that sustainability starts with our people, where we truly see, value, and support one another. That’s why we are committed to creating a workplace where everyone can be themselves, feel safe, and arrive each day with motivation and pride.

Safety always - our guiding compass. As a Seveso-classified company, we understand the importance of protection, awareness, and preparation. Our teams receive the right training, work with clear procedures, and can rely on a culture where we genuinely look out for each other. This enables us to move forward every day—safely and confidently.

We’re also investing in initiatives that improve life for our people and our communities. Across our sites in Brussels, Hoboken, and Bruges, we’re implementing green energy solutions and eco‑efficient technologies. Solar panels on our rooftops power our electric vehicle fleet and help reduce our environmental footprint.

Mobility is another area where we put people first. Thanks to our bike leasing program, more and more colleagues are discovering the joy of cycling to work: less stress, fewer traffic jams, and more energy. Good for the climate and good for yourself.

Ultimately, Umicore Bruges is driven by collaboration, innovation, and care for one another. Together, step by step, we are building a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future.
