This laureate position is another great confirmation of the way we approach sustainability within Titeca," says partner and CEO Jurka Vanthournout.
This year's action plan impressed Voka's evaluation committee. Through a materiality matrix, a longlist of 48 action points was narrowed down to a shortlist of 14 overarching areas that have impact at four levels. These points form the core of the 2025 action plan and show how Titeca is committed to sustainability at different levels within the company and beyond.

By joining forces, we are addressing labor market shortages and building a sector that is ready for the challenges of tomorrow. This approach is part of our broader sustainability strategy, which focuses on social responsibility, shared progress and long-term thinking. Because only by working together do we make a truly sustainable impact.
