Ahead of International Women’s Day, Pascale Van Damme, CEO of Cordeel Group, takes on the role of guest editor-in-chief for the latest issue of Trends. In her editorial, she shares her perspective on leadership, technology and the importance of diversity in a rapidly changing world.

C-biotech and C-ground are joining forces with OVMB, a subsidiary of Eiffage Construction BeLux, for an innovative soil remediation project in the Port of Ghent. In a fully enclosed and controlled greenhouse environment, the partners are investigating how industrial hemp, combined with soil additives, can accelerate the removal of PFAS from the soil without destroying its structure and quality. The pilot project is a European first and has the potential to grow into a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for the remediation of these persistent “forever chemicals.” PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are highly persistent chemical compounds that contaminate soil and water worldwide and are linked to serious health risks. Belgium is considered one of the largest hotspots in Europe. The need for innovative, scalable solutions is therefore particularly urgent.

Cordeel Headquarters Temse and Cordeel Headquarters Hoeselt are joining forces to operate as Cordeel Belgium starting in 2026. Together with Bernard Construction, led by Philippe Beaujean and now fully integrated within the group, they form a unified construction collective with national strength, ready to take on an even more prominent role within the Belgian construction sector. To reinforce that ambition, the newly formed entity is also appointing Thomas De Loof (ex-Dell) as co-CEO, alongside the familiar face of current CEO Kevin De Hainaut.
