Cordeel Group is an independent family-owned business with 1,600 employees and an annual turnover of 800 million euros. With roots in Belgium, we have grown to become a major European player in the construction industry, and now oversee a number of companies, alliances and joint ventures. Cordeel Group is much more than a construction company. It is the one-stop partner for the complete construction process. The companies that operate under the Cordeel Group banner are each highly specialised in their own field. We work together or independently to create sustainable, future-proof solutions for our clients’ complex requirements. From this broad expertise, we take care of the complete construction process from design and technical support to completion and maintenance. Sustainable business is not a fashion trend for Cordeel, but a way of doing business. Our mission therefore reads as follows: "Transforming the future as the fastest builder by focussing on innovation to create smart, energy-efficient, and low-carbon solutions". We are actively committed to becoming a leading example in the construction world and to encourage other companies to build a more sustainable world. Cordeel Temse took the first steps in this direction in 2012 by obtaining certification under the ISO 14001 management system. Almost a decade later, we continue to be actively committed to lowering the CO2 emissions of our activities, and endorse the UN development goals to implement sustainability in practice.
