CBC's Commitment Rooted in Belgium
CBC’s Impact in Figures
PlantC and CBC Bank and Insurance have a long history. Since late 2020, CBC has decided to support planting projects in Belgium. Their objective is to contribute to carbon sequestration through local projects with PlantC.
Experience these projects in real-time; we will provide updates on the planting progress on this page!

1.2 hectares of miscanthus in Jodoigne
202110,871 miscanthus rhizomes planted over 1.2 hectares in Jodoigne. Over 20 years, nearly 144 tonnes of CO2 will be sequestered and avoided due to the replacement of a fossil fuel (natural gas) with a biomass fuel. The planting was carried out on June 1, 2021.
- 9,808 miscanthus rhizomes planted
The bark beetle-infested plot in Andenne has been reforested
2021For this reforestation in Andenne (Strud), 6 tree species have been planted across 1.45 hectares.
- 100% of the project funded by CBC
Biodiversity Objective Achieved at Thibaut’s in Perwez
2021760m of hedge planted at Thibaut’s! Thank you to all, citizens and businesses, who supported this ambitious project with us! The first of many!
- 152 meters of hedge
Reforestation in Attert
2021Poplars in Attert, over 0.77 hectares. In total, this project involves 1,154 trees, representing 390 tons of CO2 with the help of PlantC.
- 100% of the project funded by CBC
Reforestation in Anthisnes
2021For this reforestation, 9 different tree species, both deciduous and coniferous, are planted on 2.5 hectares. For this project, natural ash regeneration is expected.
- 100% of the project funded by CBC
Reforestation in Beuzet
2021In Beuzet, the forest plot was cut after ash dieback. 3,225 saplings were used for the reforestation of the plots.
- 48% of the project funded by CBC. Visit summary (https://www.cbc.be/particuliers/fr/banque-durable/rencontres/plantation-arbre-belgique-plantc.html)
Reforestation in Bertogne
20241,575 trees were planted in Bertogne (336) on just under 1 hectare. The reforestation follows the presence of bark beetles.
- 87% of the project funded by CBC
Hedge Link in Modave
2024We refer to this as a hedge connection, as approximately 1620m of hedges are being added to the 170 meters of living hedges planted in two rows. A mix of more than 12 different species of native trees and shrubs have now been planted.
- 126 meters of hedge
La Bergerie des Arches – Agroecological Farm in Gesves
2025A leading agroecological farm in Wallonia, La Bergerie des Arches combines livestock farming, fodder self-sufficiency, and short supply chains.
