We are proud to announce that Titeca pro Accountants & experts the Yuki award 2025 for sustainability has won! At the awards show on Feb. 13, 2025, the jury, led by Carine Coppens (HOGent), crowned our efforts to structurally embed sustainability in our operations and our broad impact on employees, clients and the accounting industry.
The recognition is a nice affirmation of the path we are on: not only integrate sustainability internally, but also leverage it to raise awareness among business owners and fellow accountants about the opportunities and challenges around ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance).
Why does Titeca win this award?
According to the Yuki Awards jury, Titeca stands out for its broad and in-depth approach. Our sustainability policy has an impact on several levels:
1. Employees: sustainability in our corporate culture
Our colleagues drive our sustainable strategy. This is why we are strongly committed to:
- Internal training around sustainability for employees.
- Guest lectures and collaborations with colleges to make the next generation of accountants aware of the importance of ESG.
2. Customers: sustainability as a strategic compass for entrepreneurs
Sustainability is a game-changer for entrepreneurs. At Titeca, we help clients turn this challenge into a strategic opportunity:
- Inspiration sessions and trainings, such as the Pro Academy and webinars on the Green Deal.
- Practical guidance around sustainable financing, investment deductions and subsidies.
- Newsletters and knowledge articles, in which we inform entrepreneurs about relevant legislation and opportunities.
3. Accounting sector: pioneer in sustainability
As an accounting firm, we have a social responsibility to incorporate sustainability into our industry. Therefore, we actively engage through:
- The sustainability working group within the ITAA, where we participate in policy advice and knowledge sharing within the industry.
- Seminars and presentations at the ITAA congress, in which we inspire accountants to incorporate sustainability into their services.
- Guest lectures at Flemish colleges, preparing future accountants for a future in which sustainability plays a central role.
4. Social impact (ESG) in our own operation.
Sustainability starts with ourselves. Titeca takes concrete actions within each section of ESG:
- Environmental: Electrification of our vehicle fleet and investments in energy-efficient office buildings, with four new construction projects in the pipeline.
- Social: We remain committed to Titeca as a "Great Place To Work", focusing on work happiness, inclusion and well-being of our employees.
- Governance: Our governance structure ensures transparency and renewal, with temporary mandates of up to 2 x 3 years and a professional management team.
How did we win this award?
For the Yuki Awards, Stijn Hugues and Corneel Maertens, sustainability experts at Titeca, put together a strong case. During an interview with the jury, they gave an in-depth explanation about:
- How we embed sustainability within Titeca, both internally and externally.
- What concrete initiatives and goals we prioritize.
- Our impact on business owners, employees and the broader accounting industry.
The judges were particularly impressed with our efforts to raise widespread awareness of ESG and our role as a catalyst to inspire other accountants and entrepreneurs.
A recognition and motivation to continue
Sustainability is not a one-time project, but an ongoing process. At Titeca, we remain committed to making sustainability tangible and workable, both within our firm and with our clients and partners.
This award is a recognition of the work we have already done, but more importantly a motivation to go one step further!
