Since the Green Office's creation in January 2020, the many awards and supports received for its innovative commitment program are creating a positive spiral!

A positive spiral 

Calls for projects and competitions place the team's work in a dynamic of excellence with the need for efficiency: in a short period of time, give the best, go to the essential, rely on the advice of experts, ..

Moreover, they push the team to produce quality materials, both in terms of content and form (videos, illustrations, summaries, etc.), which can then be reused to communicate about the project.

A scope that extends beyond Liège

Expert recognition of the project's relevance and positive impact increases theenergy and confidence of the team and stakeholders (internal and external). This associated visibility opens the possibility of building new partnerships. By pooling resources, these partnerships increase human and financial resources.

Growing impacts

The collective energy federates more and more actors around the program, particularly through its replication. The positive impacts are multiplied, which strengthens the determination of all the program's actors.
