Belgian Awards for Sustainability Reports (BAS)

Presentation of the Jury Process

 

 

For over 25 years the Belgian Institute of Registered Auditors (IBR - IRE) has been drawing attention to the work of Belgian organisations or organisations active in Belgium that publish a sustainability report covering the so-called ESG criteria (Environmental, Social and Governance) of their activity. The BAS recognizes excellence and transparency in sustainability reporting in Belgium.

The 2025 edition is particularly significant as it takes place in a context of regulatory transition, with the entry into force of the Belgian law transposing the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and the upcoming Omnibus directives. In this context, IBR/IRE has adapted the organisation of the BAS by rethinking the composition of the Jury, which is now entirely independent from IBR-IRE profession, and by redrawing the evaluation criteria.
