What better time to go outside and 'boire un verre' (have a drink) in Brussels than in the summertime?  There are lots of great patios and terraces in Brussels.  Here are some of our favourites.

When the wind is howling and the rain is lashing down in Brussels, it can sometimes be hard to get outside.  But summer is finally here and we're spoiled for choice when it comes to green spaces in Brussels.  Here are a selection of our favourite parks and green spaces in the Belgian capital.

Summer is here and everyone has their favourite spot to sample some quality ice cream.  As a foodie city, it's no surprise that we're spoiled for choice in Brussels when it comes to ice cream.

People who answer surveys lie.  It’s due to something called the Social Desirability Bias which means that they present the best version of themselves, especially on morally-charged issues like drinking, sex or the environment.

The July 2013 Eurobarometer ‘Attitudes of Europeans Towards Building The Single Market For Green Products’ seems to have fallen foul of the Social Desirability Bias and as such, I believe the results should be taken with a large pinch of salt. 

Show You Care by Asking for the WindMade Product Label

Our client WindMade has recently launched a consumer label for products made from wind power. Communications Director Angelika Pullen has written a guest blog about the label and its accompanying Show You Care campaign, helping consumers ask brands to create their products with wind power.

We’ve done it! Finally, after many months of deliberations with technical experts, environmental NGOs and potential user companies, and after various round of corporate and public consultations, we’re proud to present the WindMade Product Label!

My Work Experience At Sustainability Consult

Boris Arnold is currently a student intern at our office.  We asked him to write a blog about himself and his time working at Sustainability Consult.

I attend the European School of Brussels and I am 15 years old.  I’m interested in environmental issues which we cover extensively in geography, one of my favourite subjects.

Kathryn Sheridan and Zoe Volioti

Since we set up five years ago, Sustainability Consult has handled clients’ participation in events and exhibitions, even representing them on their stands at international trade events.  So it was high time we had our own stand and represented ourselves.  So, we did.  

We decided to have a stand at the biggest conference on the bioeconomy in North America.  Sustainability Consult exhibited at the 10^th BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology in Montreal, 16-19 June.  Inspired by our 2013 advertising, we created a cardboard stand featuring our wordcloud and new tagline ‘More than a communications agency.  A sustainability communications agency’.
