« Mission impossible ? Sauver la planète sans sacrifier notre confort »
​
Le consensus scientifique est désormais sans appel, nous devons réduire nos émissions de CO2 pour limiter le changement climatique et ses effets. Le défi est global et demande des adaptations de nos économies et de nos comportements. Mais, au lendemain de la COP de Belém, sommes-nous prêts à changer nos habitudes ? Peut-on concilier bien-être personnel et responsabilité environnementale ? Qui paye pour la dette environnementale que nous accumulons depuis des décennies ? Si ces questions vous intéressent, venez en discuter et partager vos idées avec nous lors du Management Café du 26 novembre 2025.

RTBF - 10/07/25

It is an icon among icons. A timeless fashion staple that has fascinated people for almost half a century: the iconic “Birkin” handbag from Hermès. The very first Birkin (designed especially for Jane Birkin in 1984) was auctioned in Paris on July 10. It sold for nearly €8.6 million, making it the most expensive and coveted bag in the world.

Interview Fin du partenariat avec vdk banque: quel avenir pour NewB?
Tendances Trends - 23/09/2025
The end of the partnership between NewB and vdk bank is forcing the cooperative to reinvent itself once again. Three years after giving up on becoming a fully-fledged bank, NewB is now focusing on crowdfunding and mobilizing its members to revive its momentum and continue supporting projects with a social impact. Marek Hudon, professor at the Solvay Brussels School and specialist in sustainable finance, sheds light on the future of the cooperative.

« Valeur ajoutée » : A quoi sert encore un syndicaliste ?
Le Soir - 16/09/2025
Thierry Bodson is experiencing his last political season as president of Wallonia's most iconic trade union. After five years as president of the FGTB, the “lion Bodson” is leaving the economic jungle. It marks the end of a cycle, the end of an era, at a time when trade unions need to reinvent themselves. They have no choice.
