“In a complex world of information overload, people want to make sense of it. And they don’t particularly trust politicians or companies to do that. This has created a huge opportunity for organisations that have a campaigning social purpose, like charities and NGOs”

The current state of the European construction sector
The FIEC’s Annual Statistical Report shows the current state of the European construction sector.
Thanks to their national Member Federations’ statistical experts, FIEC has collected figures on, amongst many other things, investment in new housebuilding, renovation and maintenance of residential buildings, non-residential building and civil engineering and employment in construction in 2019.
After a positive overall development in 2019, the construction sector had a good start in 2020. However, at the end of Q1, the COVID-19 crisis severely hit the construction sector in many countries.
Due to the uncertainties related to the crisis, it was not possible to forecast figures for 2020. FIEC could only give a rough estimation of how total investments in construction might develop in 2020 based on first assessments by their Member Federations’ statistical experts.
FIEC, therefore, estimates a decline in investments in total construction by 8.5%. The situation might worsen in 2021 if investments in construction, both public and private, do not recover significantly.
The 63rd annual FIEC Statistical Report will be useful for all readers by giving an insight into the sector and by demonstrating its significance for the economy as a whole.
This Report is a milestone as it is the first time that FIEC has published a digital version. Check online this must-read digital publication.

“There is very clear logic behind the statement that most organisations recover reputation. We talk all the time about how social media storms engulf organisations so quickly. But just as quickly, they are gone, engulfing someone else. And quite often forgotten”

Willing to achieve a Social Media Program for your organisation?
Your organisation wants to implement a professional social media program based on a consistent and regularly measured digital presence strategy. The optimal fulfilment of such a project raises many fundamental questions:
• How to avoid going in all directions and thus exhaust the resources in beautiful actions but without coherence, integration and multiplier effects? How to integrate your social media program as part of your overall communication efforts? What is the difference between being on the internet and having a significant digital presence program?
• What are your audiences and your priority messages? What are the positioning and corresponding personality to adapt to effectively reach your target audience?
• What are the optimal contact points to integrate into your program and which ones require specific actions? What are the channels to use? Should we multiply them and, if so, why?
• How to professionally manage a social media program? How to divide tasks optimally between your external partner and your internal resources?
• How to best measure the impact of your actions on social media? How, when and why to integrate the feedback of “analytics” in the program defined?
• How to manages the visual relations between your brand expression and your services and certification propositions?

Focused on a responsible future: the port of Brussels!
The Port of Brussels is a public interest organisation dependent on the Brussels-Capital Region. It plays a leading role for Brussels and the people of Brussels in fields as varied as the economy and employment, the environment, mobility, or the prevention of floods.
In 2019, traffic at the port of Brussels had an absolute record in terms of clean traffic with 5,2 million tonnes traded during the year. An increase in Brussels port traffic of nearly 50% in 26 years of existence.
The spectacular drop in transit traffic down 31.8%, leading to a decline in overall traffic, which for 2019 reached 6.2 million tonnes. The decline in transit traffic confirms a trend observed for many years.
Finally, passenger traffic has also grown significantly, with more than 60,000 people travelling on the Brussels waterway in 2019.
Traffic by water represents a saving of some 618,000 trucks, 96,000 tonnes of CO2 and 24 million euros in external costs. These mobility and environmental impacts are part of the Port Memorandum, which aims to combat climate change at all levels.

Nonwovens, you say?
What do running shoes, baby diapers, surgical masks, roads, and air filters all have in common?
Surprise! It’s nonwovens.
Although often hiding in plain sight, we use nonwovens both day and night, and from the moment we are born to the day that we die.

Is there a unique role for social media in a communication campaign?
Nowadays, everyone agrees to consider social media as central as part of a communication campaign. Does this mean that we can limit our campaign by being present on these communication channels?
Not really, in reality, if social media are today inseparable from a communication campaign, they perform a triple role:
First, they help promote each campaign activity.
Then, they are themselves vectors of messages, on condition of ensuring consistency between the messages published there and the messages deployed during the other campaign communication activities.
Finally, thanks to the statistics that social media generate, they complete the understanding and analysis of the impact of the various campaign activities.
In its communication campaign on its certification system, the Zhaga consortium effectively uses social media. Present on the Twitter, LinkedIn and youtube mix, the campaign gives excellent results and in particular with manufacturers, one of the main targets of this campaign.
