visit.brussels drafted and coordinated a sustainability action plan, largely based on the 2022 recommendations of the Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDS-Index), to implement concrete actions for improving Brussels' score in this international index.

Key actions for 2023 included helping tourism sector players to obtain the Green Key and Bike-friendly labels, and the launch of the Sustainable Partners umbrella organisation, which lists all partners with a label, certification or accreditation in the Brussels-Capital Region. In all, 39% of hotel rooms and 13% of venues in Brussels are eco-labelled. We also organised an online Label Week (each day, a different label is presented to an audience of over 50 participants), and worked with Flanders and Wallonia to promote "EuroVelo" in Belgium. 

visit.brussels also organised an event dedicated to its own social and environmental responsibility, held in the presence of all its employees: Impact Day. This awareness-raising day allowed the ASBL's various departments to generate ideas for actions with a positive impact. Concrete results included the development of an internal strategy focused on sustainable public procurement, as well as the awarding of the Green Key label to the Bip Meeting Center. visit.brussels also translated its commitment to the organisation of high-quality, sustainable events by implementing concrete measures throughout the year, such as the use of biodegradable and reusable logistics materials, the promotion of soft mobility, the use of less energy-intensive technical resources, and the implementation of the Region's "Brudalex" waste management rules.
