As a technology company in the broadcast and live production sector, we recognize the environmental impact of our operations. It is our responsibility to measure and reduce this impact as much as possible.
We are in the process of establishing our carbon footprint targets. As EVS continues to experience significant growth within an ever-changing technological environment, we have focused on setting an intensity-based target. In 2025, our primary objective was to identify a suitable denominator for our carbon footprint measurement. We selected a new metric, Video Transfer Capacity (VTC), expressed in Gb/s. VTC quantifies the volume of video data that a product can transfer, process, or control. Beginning in 2026, each EVS product will be assigned a specific VTC value to reflect its capabilities in broadcast-oriented applications.
By correlating energy consumption to this VTC metric, we aim to create a benchmark that remains stable despite technological changes and clearly illustrates our commitment to lowering our customers’ carbon footprints without sacrificing high performance.
Our 2024 carbon footprint data showed that how much energy our products consume is key to reducing emissions. Therefore, in 2025, we prioritized identifying ways to reduce energy consumption across our product range. Our R&D team suggested multiple initiatives to decrease energy usage in both hardware and software. In 2026, we will focus on evaluating these R&D ideas and integrating them into our product plans, enabling us to define credible and achievable targets for reducing our carbon footprint.
EVS’ 2025 Carbon Footprint amounted to 43,116 tCO2e, which represents a decrease of 10% compared to the baseline year of 2024. This reduction is primarily attributed to two key factors affecting scope 3 emissions.
We achieved a noteworthy 3% absolute reduction in overall product energy consumption. This accomplishment demonstrates the effectiveness of our innovative licensing model and the scalability of our available capacity, enabling customers to maximize the benefits of our solutions while minimizing their environmental impact. By utilizing our technology more efficiently, customers are able to achieve greater results without increasing energy usage.
We undertook a comprehensive review and remapping of our direct and indirect purchases, including updates to the emission factors used. Notably, we transitioned several categories from a monetary-based ratio to a unit-based approach, leading to more accurate reporting and further supporting our sustainability goals.
The business world is changing, and employees’ expectations are evolving alongside it. Companies must attract and retain the best talent while boosting performance and ensuring they have the talented people needed to attain their business goals.
By 2030, EVS aims to achieve two primary objectives:
Attain a position within the Top 50% of Belgium’s Top Employers.
Achieve a Team Members Net Promoter Score (tmNPS) of 30 or higher.
These dual objectives reflect our commitment to both external attractiveness and internal engagement. Recognition among the top employers demonstrates our dedication to continuously enhancing HR policies through global benchmarking of best practices.
For the past three years, we have asked our Team Members on a quarterly basis a straightforward question: “How likely are you to recommend working at EVS to a friend or acquaintance?”
The Team Members Net Promoter Score (tmNPS) has remained stable over this period, with an average score of 48. This indicator measures the willingness of our Team Members to recommend EVS and serves as a reliable proxy for overall satisfaction and loyalty to our company.
Thanks to these regular surveys, we gain a comprehensive view throughout the year and can analyze seasonal variations. The results of this survey also reinforce the positive engagement levels observed in our annual engagement survey.
For the fourth consecutive year, EVS is proud to announce that we have been honored with the recognition of being named a 2026 Top Employer. This accolade stands as a testament to our commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace environment that prioritizes the well-being and growth of our invaluable team.
This year, we conducted a deep-dive analysis of our results to gain a comprehensive view of our strengths and areas for improvement. Our goal is to enhance our overall performance next year, and to achieve this we will implement a series of targeted actions.
This certification is consistent with the findings of our annual engagement survey and the quarterly tmNPS.
Increasing Team Member engagement is a key pillar of our HR Strategy. Research consistently demonstrates a strong correlation between the level of engagement within a company and overall business performance. Measuring the commitment and satisfaction of our Team Members is therefore essential.
To support this objective, EVS conducts an annual engagement survey to collect feedback on both strengths and opportunities for improvement. For the seventh consecutive year, the engagement survey was conducted, and the 2025 results are consistent with those recorded in 2024. This stability is particularly noteworthy given that EVS has expanded both organically and through acquisitions, highlighting the effectiveness of our efforts.
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Participation rate in the engagement survey | 87% | 87% | 91% | 80% | 88% | 84% | 85% |

EVS is committed to providing Team Members with continuous opportunities for learning and development. Learning and development can take place through formal or informal channels, and may be delivered synchronously or asynchronously. Depending on individual needs and preferences, different learning formats may be more suitable and effective than others.
We offer a wide range of development opportunities, including live training sessions, online courses, reading materials, language classes, as well as internal and external development programs. We believe that investing in the continuous development of our Team Members is an investment in the long-term success of our company.
What leaders have in common is that each really knows their strengths, has developed their strengths, and can call on the right strength at the right time.” – Donald O. Clifton
In 2025, a total of 478 Team Members completed the CliftonStrengths assessment with a specialized coach. This assessment identifies each individual’s unique combination of 34 CliftonStrengths themes, providing Team Members with a clearer understanding of their core strengths. We have been actively encouraging the adoption of the CliftonStrengths assessment throughout the organization since 2023.
In 2025, we also developed dedicated team sessions to enable both managers and Team Members to gain a comprehensive view of the group’s collective strengths and development opportunities. Leveraging these insights supports enhanced individual performance and more effective team collaboration.
Raising awareness regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a continuous process which was pursued this year through a range of targeted initiatives.
In 2025, for the second consecutive year, the DEI Team launched its annual Inclusion Survey as part of EVS’ ongoing commitment to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. Our results were very positive, with more than 85% of respondents agreeing, or strongly agreeing, with the question “Do you think EVS is an inclusive workspace?”.
Several mentoring programs were also launched, both internally and externally. One such program was designed to foster dialogue between female employees at EVS and the Leadership Team. This initiative has been successful, with mentees valuing access to leadership insights, and mentors gaining a deeper understanding of female employee experiences.
Additionally, the DEI team supports several organizations promoting gender diversity in the broadcast and STEM sectors, including Elles Bougent, which encourages young women to pursue careers in engineering and technical fields, where they remain under-represented.
In 2025, a dedicated working conditions group was established to continuously evaluate and respond to ideas submitted by Team Members through our anonymous ideation box. This initiative fosters open dialogue and ensures that workplace improvements reflect the needs and suggestions of our Team Members across all offices.
The group remains committed to maintaining a balanced approach between our headquarters and worldwide offices, ensuring a consistent focus on well-being and ergonomics throughout EVS.
In 2025, Ed Force 1 continued to strengthen EVS’ culture of connection and celebration by organizing a wide range of events that brought Team Members closer together at EVS HQ and across our offices worldwide.
From school breakfast gatherings to welcome parents after the morning dropoff, to festive celebrations such as Saint-Nicolas parties in Belgium and the Netherlands, Ed Force 1 created meaningful moments for both employees and their families.
The year was filled with memorable occasions, including:
Summer Garden Party – a perfect opportunity to relax and interact outdoors
Christmas Party
Local initiatives – countless events organized by Ed Force 1 ambassadors in our offices, fostering community and engagement every day
These initiatives reflect the group’s unwavering commitment to building a workplace where people feel valued, connected, and celebrated. Ed Force 1 continues to be a driving force behind our vibrant company culture, making EVS not just a place to work, but a place to belong.
As part of our PLAYForward strategy, EVS defined in 2019 a clear ambition: to become the number-one live solutions provider and achieve a total turnover of at least 350 million Euro by 2030. The ambition was quite daunting back in 2019, as the annual revenue at that point in time was 103 million Euro. However, 6 years down the road, we are confident that EVS is on the right trajectory to achieve that ambition. We have experienced consistent organic growth over the past couple of years at a 12.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). With our current portfolio, including the 2025 acquisition of T-Motion, we believe we can reach revenues exceeding the 300 million Euro mark by 2030. The remaining gap towards the objective of 350 million Euro (approximately 40-50 million Euro) can be secured through additional acquisitions complementing our overall portfolio and allowing us to further expand our total addressable market.
In executing this M&A strategy, EVS has both the financial strength and organizational capabilities required to secure additional acquisitions.
The targeted profitability associated with this ambition is around 22% operating profit. While organically some operational leverage can be expected, there is likely to be some erosion coming from the investments required in new acquisitions.
Our belief that our ambition to reach 350 million Euro turnover by 2030 is achievable is grounded in a set of underlying objectives.
The live media market offers a fascinating landscape for EVS.
On the one hand, we see our traditional customers – the broadcasters and television networks - who are subject to transformative challenges, driven by technological advancements, evolving consumer behaviors, and innovative content delivery methods. In this dynamic landscape, broadcasters must remain agile, invest in cutting-edge technologies, and prioritize sustainability. EVS aims to act as a key strategic partner, helping our customers navigate through this increasing complexity on a global scale. The overall growth rate for this traditional broadcast market is anticipated to be approximately 2-5% per annum1 Per annual Devencroft Survey..
On the other hand, the world is experiencing a growing need for live content, with the importance of live events growing beyond traditional broadcasters.
Streaming providers are gradually penetrating the live market, with consequently increasing media rights budgets.
Finally, we are also witnessing more traditional corporations investing in live content to support their growing communication needs.
The above trends are expected to push market growth towards the upper end of the projected range.
Our ambition grows beyond growing in line with the base market; EVS has systematically outpaced the market by capturing additional market share from competitors over the past years and plans to continue doing so in the future.
From a solutions perspective, we expect significant market share gains in the MediaCeption, MediaInfra, and T-Motion solution families. This objective is supported by several factors:
From a regional perspective, we expect significant market share gains in North America. EVS has accelerated its strategic investments in this region to accelerate growth. Our growing Team Member base, as well as several major customer wins in 2025, demonstrate this ambition.
We expect the organic compound average annual growth rate to be in the high single digits over the next 5-6 years.
We aim to further increase recurring revenue while respecting our customers’ challenges and purchasing patterns. Given the pressure on operational spending in the broadcast industry, the traditional sales pattern is still an OPEX investment for our customers. However, EVS systematically offers its solutions in both Capex and Opex forms.
Our recurring revenue, primarily derived from Service Level Agreements (SLAs), has shown consistent growth over the past years. We are continuing to expand our SLA footprint by integrating this service into all our contracts. At the same time, we continue to invest in top quality Team Members in support roles, as this service is critical and highly valued by our customers.
In addition to SLAs, we are developing additional license and subscription-based revenue streams. In this context, we launched our e-Shop in 2025. This is a portal that enables our customers to activate licenses through a self-service mode without any manual intervention from EVS’ Team Members. Our customers can temporarily upscale or upgrade their systems to meet peak demand or specific production needs.
EVS continued to expand its recurring revenue base. Recurring revenue is generated through Service Level Agreements (SLAs), as well as increasingly through flexible licenses and, since 2025, also from subscriptions. In 2025, EVS introduced its e-shop, a self-service platform that enables customers to independently activate temporary licenses in the form of a subscription. Our recurring revenue has shown consistent growth over the past few years. Revenue from SLAs now exceeds 14% of total revenue (excluding BER and services). When including recurring licenses, the total recurring revenue stands at 16.7%.
We expect to further expand our SLA base by developing new, tailored SLAs for specific markets and customers. In addition, we will broaden the SLA coverage within our new business unit, T-Motion. From a licensing perspective, we also anticipate growth in adoption.
While a significant portion of customer investments continue to follow a CAPEX model, most of our customers operate within annual CAPEX investment cycles. This reflects the fact that customers generally do not upgrade all their infrastructure at once and tend to spread investments over multiple years. As a result, EVS benefits from a substantial level of recurring revenue that secures a stable income stream. Our top 100 customers make significant investments in approximately 8 out of 10 years.
From a gross profit margin perspective, EVS has demonstrated over recent years its ability to systematically improve margins. The primary driver of margin improvement is the increasing share of software within our solutions. At the same time, pricing strategies are carefully balanced to reflect component cost evolution and inflationary pressures.
Margin improvement is also a key consideration in acquisition analysis. In most cases, acquired businesses initially exhibit lower gross margin profiles at transaction close. EVS generally evaluates the longer-term potential and models margin improvement along several axes:
Our acquisition of Axon in 2020 is a strong illustration of EVS’ ability to improve margins over time. Profit margins have improved by nearly 20% over the past several years through consistent execution of this approach.
Our goal is to ensure profitable growth, targeting a return on investment that aligns with our current business model of 22-23% EBIT. Achieving this growth requires significant investment in resources, including pre-sales, sales, and support functions, to capture market opportunities and maintain high-quality customer support. While departments such as Production and R&D will grow in line with the company’s trajectory, certain departments can absorb growth without significant expansion.
Investment in the foundations of our company will shift, with a reduced focus on digital transformations and increased emphasis on cybersecurity to ensure a secure customer service experience. Compliance with regulations such as the NIS2 Directive, CRA, and NIST frameworks will require continued attention and investment.
We expect operational leverage to improve by 2 to 3 percentage points over the next 5 to 6 years, assuming investment requirements related to compliance and structural initiatives remain stable.
In addition to achieving profitable organic growth, EVS actively pursues acquisitions that broaden the ecosystem. For further information, please refer to the chapter on Strategy Acquisitions.
Finally, EVS aims to ensure an optimal return on investment. This objective underpins all aspects of our financial strategy and guides our pursuit of sustained, profitable growth.
EVS proactively identifies and manages risks that may affect its operations, strategy, financial position, or reputation. For each identified risk, potential mitigation actions are defined to limit the potential impact of the risk on our business.
Supplier assessment: In 2025, we updated our “EVS Supplier Certification Procedure” to lower supply-chain risks. All direct suppliers must complete an approved ESG assessment, sign our code of conduct, comply with the Modern Slavery Act, RoHS, REACH, and conflict of minerals regulations.

Through co-innovation, we partnered with users to align platform capabilities with industry priorities - creating shared value and accelerating adoption of future-ready solutions.
Understanding user sentiment is crucial for achieving successful results. In 2026, we plan to incorporate feedback loops into every phase of engagement, spanning from ambassador-led events to interactions on digital platforms. While the formal tracking of Net Promoter Score (NPS) remains a key indicator of customer satisfaction, we also gather qualitative insights through community discussions and post-engagement surveys. These efforts ensure that user perspectives actively shape our product development and service improvements. At EVS, while we aim to assess our performance, it is the deeper understanding of potential areas for growth that motivates us to pursue these valuable insights.
Professional development continued to be a key pillar of our engagement strategy. We introduced the first versions of learning journeys within the community platform, connecting our users and taking the first steps toward integration with our Learning Management System to provide more structured training opportunities. Post-training engagement was reinforced through peer-to-peer Q&A sessions and ambassador-led workshops, creating a continuous learning environment that empowers users to grow their skills and advance their careers.
As we move forward, EVS is committed to fostering new pathways for our community of users worldwide to stay connected, and to increase their professional knowledge and experience through community-led activities.
User feedback is at the core of decision-making at EVS. We recognize that meaningful input from our global user base is essential to driving continuous improvement and innovation. From user community platform engagements to user event planning, we prioritize transparency and responsiveness by actively soliciting and integrating user suggestions at every stage. Our commitment to openness is reflected in regular communications that detail how feedback shapes new features, community initiatives, and service enhancements.
Initiatives focus on actions through our EVS ambassador-driven engagement to ensure that our community is heard and valued for its insights. By analyzing user data and segmenting onboarding experiences, we tailor activities to meet the specific needs of diverse user groups, ensuring that every member receives relevant information and resources. Automated communication tools enable us to deliver timely updates and gather real-time sentiment, while our network of ambassadors acts as a bridge between users and EVS Team Members, hosting events and workshops where community members can share their experiences directly.
This feedback-driven approach strengthens trust and reinforces EVS’ reputation as a partner committed to user success. By embedding feedback loops into our processes, we empower users to influence the evolution of our platform and services. As a result, EVS continues to build a collaborative environment where users are confident that their voices matter, and where their insights directly contribute to the advancement of live production technology and professional development opportunities.
Testing our products with real users remains a strategic priority. Throughout the year, EVS organizes activities, invests in user testing events, and instills confidence in our solutions by ensuring each release is robust and reliable. Additionally, we strive to ensure that enhancements to our solutions meet the usability and experience standards expected by users, reflecting the EVS brand and our commitment to advancing live media production. Our core objective is to enable better and more creative storytelling through technology.
As we move into 2026, our focus is clear: to scale user community engagement to reach more users, and to foster a strong industry of professionals that help keep live production domains resilient.
Over the past year, EVS’ products and solutions have been deployed worldwide, reflecting the trust our customers place in EVS as a long-term partner for mission-critical production workflows. From replays and highlights to content management, media infrastructure, video assistance for refereeing (VAR), and media production robotics, EVS supports the full production lifecycle, well beyond its established replay expertise. Our customers today include leading broadcasters, media organizations, service providers, and sports federations, all sharing a common need for speed, reliability, and future-ready performance in increasingly complex production environments.
EVS continues to be a reference partner for live sports and entertainment productions worldwide through LiveCeption®, its advanced replay and highlights solution.
Gravity Media, a leader in production, content, and media services, entered into a key agreement with EVS for the large-scale deployment of LiveCeption®. The rollout includes EVS’ XT-VIA® servers and LSM-VIA® replay systems across Gravity Media’s worldwide fleet.

EVS’ MediaCeption® content management solution gained further momentum in the global news market, driven by its ability to support fast-paced, live, and collaborative newsroom environments.
A major milestone was the signing of a strategic agreement with the leading international news organization Al Jazeera Media Network. Under this contract, MediaCeption® was deployed across five key locations - Doha, London, Washington D.C., New York, and Sarajevo - to streamline and enhance news production workflows. The solution provides a unified environment for ingesting multiple live feeds, managing and editing content, and delivering news seamlessly as events unfold. Centralized storage and collaborative tools enable editorial teams to work efficiently across regions in real time.
We are pleased to work with EVS to bring MediaCeption® into our news production ecosystem. EVS’ proven track record of delivering fast and reliable solutions, combined with their global technical support presence, gives us the confidence to meet the challenges of modern news delivery.”Ahmad Al Fahad, Executive Director of Technology & Network Operations at Al Jazeera Media Network
In Germany, Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), one of the country’s leading public broadcasters, selected MediaCeption® to support a unified, end-to-end newsroom workflow for ARD-aktuell’s Tagesschau, Germany’s flagship news program. Built on the VIA Media Asset Management Platform (VIA MAP®), the deployment enables efficient management and editing of live and nearlive content while introducing AI-driven workflows that support the ongoing modernization of Tagesschau’s newsroom operations.
EVS is helping broadcasters modernize their control rooms with its Flexible Control Room (FCR) solution and Tactiq, its modular interface launched in 2025 that has already earned industry recognition for its forward-thinking design.
Developed in close collaboration with RTBF, the solution is being deployed in the Belgian public broadcaster’s new all-IP production hub. Designed as a fully software-driven environment, FCR unifies the control of audio, video, and graphics within a single, flexible interface. This approach simplifies complex workflows, improves operational efficiency, and gives operators greater adaptability and creative freedom in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
EVS MediaInfra solutions support the ongoing transition from SDI to IP, by allowing organizations to upgrade their infrastructure gradually, without disrupting daily operations.
In Argentina, Telefe, the country’s leading free-to-air broadcaster, selected EVS’ Strada router, controlled by the Cerebrum management system, to support its transition to IP-based production. Strada acts as the central “traffic controller” for audio and video signals, whether they are using legacy technology, IP networks, or a combination of both. This flexible approach allows Telefe to continue operating as usual today, while progressively transitioning to IP at its own pace.
EVS MediaInfra solutions are also being used beyond traditional broadcast environments. At Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, EVS technology supports a fully IP-based production hub that powers the largest outdoor curved videoboard in the United States. By combining MediaInfra with EVS’ live production tools, the stadium has streamlined its production workflows and delivers engaging, high-quality live content to fans, enhancing the in-venue experience.
EVS continues to play a key role in enhancing fairness and accuracy in sports through PowerVision® solutions.
The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) selected EVS’ Xeebra® video review system to power Belgian football’s new centralized VAR (Video Assistant Referee) Center, implemented in collaboration with EMG. By centralizing VAR operations, RBFA equips referees with advanced tools that enable fast, precise, and consistent decision-making across competitions.
This investment represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to innovation and fairness in football. By centralizing our VAR operations with EVS’ Xeebra technology, we are equipping our referees with the most advanced tools available - ensuring more accurate decisions and reinforcing Belgian football’s position as a leader in integrity and technological excellence.” Peter Willems, CEO of the RBFA
Together, these customer engagements illustrate how EVS continues to support the world’s leading media and sports organizations in transforming their operations - delivering reliability today while enabling innovation for the future.
We use the Net Promoter Score (NPS) as a key indicator of customer satisfaction and loyalty, helping us track how well we meet and exceed customer expectations. In 2025, our NPS was independently measured by Devoncroft Partners as part of their annual Big Broadcast Survey (BBS), the largest global study of the broadcast and media technology sector.
Our company achieved an impressive NPS of 45.2, significantly higher than the industry average of just below 20. This score places us in the top 15% of companies in our industry.
As an integral part of our ESG strategy, we actively seek customer feedback on the sustainability of our products and solutions. This allows us to incorporate customer requests and sustainability considerations directly into our product development and service offerings, ensuring our solutions continue to meet evolving client and environmental needs.
In 2025, we concentrated on improving direct communication of our ESG initiatives to customers. Particular emphasis was placed on highlighting the ESG features of our products during customer communications, ensuring transparency and clarity regarding our sustainability efforts. Additionally, we developed an intelligent assistant to support our pre-sales team, enabling them to respond to ESG-related requests for proposal (RFP) questions with the most up-to-date information available within the company.
To further enhance our product development process, we introduced a dedicated ESG tag within our product management process, from Ideation to delivery. This feature streamlines the identification of ESG improvement ideas and customer requests, enabling more effective integration of sustainability considerations into product innovation.
At the end of 2025, we joined the Media Climate Accord (MCA), a global initiative led by the Media Tech Sustainability Series (MTSS) aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability in the media industry. This step aligns with our ESG Strategy and commitment to reducing the environmental impact of live production solutions. As a leader in live video technology, we recognize our industry’s footprint and the need for collective action. By joining the MCA, we commit to making sustainability an integral part of all stages of production and distribution, demonstrating that technological advancement and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

By combining EVS’ live production innovation with Qvest’s integration and change management expertise, this alliance enables broadcasters to transition to scalable, software-defined workflows. Introduced at IBC2025 with the Tactiq interface, FCR empowers dynamic and collaborative production environments, ensuring operational agility and creative flexibility for live and on-demand content worldwide.
In 2025, EVS once again successfully grew its global indirect channel revenues. This growth was led by North America, where onboarding new partners and winning opportunities together helped expand and further diversify the business with new customers. In particular, North America saw substantial growth in its Stadium and University venue business, while continuing to forge ahead in segments beyond sports, including Corporate, House of Worship, Government, and News.
EVS is empowering Channel Partners and end-customers to navigate the SDI-to-IP transition by delivering hybrid-ready solutions that ensure seamless integration, operational continuity, and future-proof scalability across broadcast workflows. By leveraging the new Flexible Control Room and T-Motion solutions, EVS enables Channel Partners to deliver software-defined workflows and advanced media robotics capabilities, while simultaneously enhancing support and service excellence.

The EVS Skippers Team was launched in 2020 at the initiative of the Leadership Team. Composed of the Leadership Team’s direct reports, it was initially created to strengthen communication between leadership and all Team Members across the organization.
At the end of 2023, the Skippers Team was further empowered to evolve into a truly cross-functional group, becoming a key driving and transformational force in the pursuit of our BHAG. EVS continues to place this community of leaders in the spotlight, reinforcing their role and impact in support of our growth ambitions.
Two Skippers Team Coordinators have been appointed to foster collaboration and shared ownership within the group. Their primary mission is to encourage interaction and teamwork among Skippers from different departments.
Also, the Skippers gather at the beginning of each year to align on EVS’ strategic objectives and to strengthen cohesion and collaboration across departments, building on our shared Deliver, Accelerate, Re-shape, and Empower (DARE) values.
As an international company with a strong local presence in several regions of the world, we want to contribute to making the communities around us better every day. We encourage our Team Members to get involved with charities, and we also contribute to local communities at a corporate level by providing resources to support their ambitious projects.
In 2025, EVS continued to take pride in its role as an essential supporter of local communities in the Liège region. Our sponsoring efforts are focused on education, sport, and culture.
We support institutions such as the Opéra Royal de Wallonie and the Théâtre de Liège, as well as numerous associations including CoderDojo, ELA, Rucher, Lège créative, AILG, CAP 48, and others. In 2025, a total of €290,000 was donated to these various associations.
At EVS, we also empower our Team Members to make a tangible impact on the causes they care about most. Every Team Member has the opportunity to donate €100 per year to the association of their choice through our individual sponsoring initiative. In 2025, EVS proudly donated a total of €40,800 through this initiative to various associations based in Belgium and across the globe.
In 2025, EVS continued to follow the Charity Day policy that was implemented at the end of 2022. Each Team Member is allocated 1 day off per year to take part in volunteer work with an organization that supports a cause that is meaningful to them.
Our objective is to reach 80% participation in Charity Days across the company by 2030.
This year a total of 162 Charity Days were taken by our Team Members.
