Who is Antoine Geerinckx?

Antoine Geerinckx is a Belgian impact entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, author of 80 Tips for Young People, and founder of several of Belgium’s leading sustainability organizations, including CO2logic, Naturalogic, Greentripper, and Airscan.

CO2logic is Belgium’s pioneer in climate action and carbon neutrality. The company was among the first in Europe to develop climate projects in developing countries, focusing on initiatives such as avoiding deforestation, reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. It was also the first Belgian company to help organizations measure, reduce, and offset their climate impact, enabling them to implement more sustainable business policies. Within CO2logic, Antoine Geerinckx launched several spin-offs, including Greentripper and Airscan, to address other environmental challenges such as sustainable tourism and air quality. Go Forest also originated as a spin-off of CO2logic.

Antoine Geerinckx uses his experience as constructive activist, entrepreneur and CEO to show you the specific advantages of implementing responsible sustainability policy. A smaller ecological/CO2 footprint as well as better company results, an improved image and a more effective personnel policy. It is an inspirational story that will stick in the minds of all responsible entrepreneurs.

  • How CO2, climate and environment are forcing companies to adopt measures

    In recent years, many more people have acknowledged the need to live and work in a more ecologically responsible manner. Whereas the theme was previously reserved for eco-warriors, everyone now realises that things must change. The business world will play a crucial role in ensuring the future of our planet. Antoine explains how you and your company can play your role. His ‘planet-saving principles’ and CO2-neutrality vision allow you to establish the foundations for a solid sustainability policy.

  • Sustainable marketing

    Environment-related messages are becoming increasingly common in advertising campaigns. This is perfectly demonstrated by the queue of car manufacturers trying to present their vehicles as the most CO2-friendly. Their approach makes sense because consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of issues like pollution and global warming. Green marketing is a new trend. But there is a very fine line between marketing for greener products and greenwashing. Marketing for greener products is essential so that less sustainable products can be quickly replaced, but can only work if products are actually sustainable. Antoine uses examples and a whole heap of tips to inform you about ‘eco-responsible marketing’.

  • Net-Zero

    No matter how much companies do to reduce their ecological/CO2 footprint, it is very difficult to eliminate CO2 emissions altogether. That is why a mechanism has been introduced, whereby companies can become ‘CO2 neutral’ by financially supporting CO2 reductions in developing countries, which are equal to the CO2 emissions they are unable to eliminate in their own countries. After all, we all share the same planet. An ingenious idea because of its simplicity, but how do you get started? How does it work? Which mistakes should you definitely avoid? What are the opportunities? And how should you communicate about them?
