As the impact of coronavirus on our activities increases and in the face of ever-stricter government measures to halt its spread, SPIE Belgium would like to inform you about the steps it has taken within the organisation.
To this day:
We have set up an internal crisis unit monitoring the situation on a daily basis, in collaboration with the Internal Service for Prevention and Protection at Work, in order to comply with government requirements and to ensure continuity of activities wherever possible. Priority is given to urgent actions in companies in critical sectors and essential services;
All our employees who can do so are working remotely;
We have stopped all work where the required 1.5m distance between individuals cannot be maintained;
Specific situations will be examined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the company doctor.
SPIE Belgium has decided not to stop its activities completely, considering that some of these may be essential or even critical to maintaining the activities of companies in critical sectors and essential services that are vital to the smooth running of the country. This is being done, of course, in strict respect of the measures taken by the authorities, and treating the health and safety of our staff, our clients, our suppliers and sub-contractors as a priority.
This unprecedented crisis reminds us of the importance of two of our founding values: responsibility and proximity. By each taking our responsibilities, we will overcome this ordeal.
Drawing strength from our 120 years of experience and from the solidity of the Group to which we belong, we remain confident in the future and in our mutual capacity to adapt and be resilient.
