Partnerships for the long term


GDF SUEZ is committed in major international projects involving culture, sustainable development, sports, and solidarity. Below are a few examples of the Group’s main partnerships.

 

 

 

Musée Magritte

 

The Musée Magritte will open its doors on 2 June 2009 in Brussels, the capital of Europe and the painter’s hometown. It will house the largest collection of Magritte’s paintings in the world (250 paintings) in a space of 2,500 m2.

This exceptional cultural project is the result of unique donation of a set of skills. It was awarded the Prix Caïus in Belgium for cultural patronage by a large company. This was one of the earliest instances of a private company volunteering its experience and skills for use in a public museum project of international renown.

GDF SUEZ played an essential role in the creation of the museum, through its cultural ambition and the modernity of its facilities, which comply with the strictest rules of sustainable development.

 

 

 

The Princess Elisabeth Polar Station project

 

The Princess Elisabeth Polar Station project began in 2004, when the Belgian Government awarded the Fondation Polaire Internationale the task of designing a new research platform in Antarctica.

GDF SUEZ, its subsidiary Electrabel, and its Laborelec research laboratory, along with the Fondation Polaire Internationale and its chairman, the explorer Alain Hubert, began a skills sponsorship in the areas of energy, water, and waste management to construct the station.

Laborelec and Electrabel contributed all of their expertise to a large-scale challenge: the design of a zero-emissions polar station that runs exclusively on renewable energies to limit its carbon footprint as much as possible.

 

 

 

Good Planet

 

It is the mission of Good Planet, which was created by photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand, to make young people aware of the challenges of sustainable development. GDF SUEZ, which plays a concrete role on a daily basis to expand everyone’s awareness of energy challenges, is a partner in this association, which is resolutely focused on future generations.

In 2008, over 57,000 schools in France (primary and lower and upper secondary) received free kits to create exhibitions based on environmental themes. The theme for 2008 was “Energy: What are the choices for Tomorrow?”
