[STRENGTHENING OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT]   Last week, Malcolm Bryson, our Sustainability Officer delivered an insightful presentation to our employees, detailing some of the work being done to enhance the sustainability of our firm’s operations. The session highlighted some of the key milestones reached in recent months and provided and overview of our plans for the future.   Some of our participants also had the chance to showcase their sustainability knowledge through an ESG quiz and were rewarded with some sustainable goodies along the way. 🌱 🎁   Following this presentation, colleagues gathered for an afterwork event where they enjoyed a selection of locally sourced and plant-based refreshments provided by our catering partner Sodexo.   The event marked a small, but significant, step in empowering our employees to help deliver our sustainability goals.    👉 Follow #BDOLuxembourg   #Sustainability #ESG #SustainableFuture

Nous sommes ravis d'avoir co-organisé cette table ronde aux côtés de Claudia Halmes-Coumont de LALUX Assurances et Claude HIRTZIG de Spuerkeess et remercions également Madame la Ministre Martine Deprez pour sa participation. Ces échanges ont permis d'aborder un certains nombres de questions fondamentales, mais aussi d'évoquer certaines pistes qui pourraient constituer des éléments de réponses, notamment : ➡️Une meilleure sensibilisation des jeunes générations via une éducation financière ➡️Un renforcement du 2e pilier ➡️Une évolution de la fiscalité, sujet sur lequel s'est penché Paul Leyder, notre Tax Leader pour exposer un certain nombre de perspectives. Merci à tous les participants pour les échanges constructifs lors de cette soirée!
