DEME

DEME is committed to the practice of sustainable development. In 2009, the Flemish government agency Flanders Investment and Trade awarded the Export Lion 2009 to DEME for what was called its ‘sustainable strategy of internationalization’ and ‘the many prestigious assignments carried out worldwide’. In a survey by temporary employment company Randstad Holding of 12,000 Belgians in early 2010 DEME was proclaimed one of the most attractive employers in Belgium.
