Investing in the future of work

When signing the ‘Be The Change’ charter, Barco decided to work on 4 different objectives, that are perfectly in line with our company DNA.

• invest 20% of R&D budget in technology solutions that enable 'remote services' in the healthcare, education and business services sectors
• map and reduce travel within the company
• organize site visits for students and their teachers to introduce them to Barco’s technological solutions and to share knowledge
• bring further digitalization to a higher level by sharpening the skills and competencies of employees

Of the 82 companies that made the initial commitment to achieve the label, Barco is one of the few that already achieved what they promised.
