ANNEX A: BRUSSELS
Foreword
The mission of OIB is to ensure a functional, safe and comfortable workplace for Commission
staff and to provide good quality support and well-being services, based on a client-oriented
approach in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way. This mission statement
translates into concrete actions by the OIB, which are consistent with the Commission objective
to reduce the environmental impact of its everyday activities. The OIB, as manager of the
Commission’s headquarters in Brussels, plays a fundamental role in the implementation of this
policy.
In this annex to the Environmental Statement, dedicated specifically to the Commission's
environmental performance in Brussels, we highlight the main achievements of 2019, such as
the reduction in energy consumption, CO2 emissions, office paper consumption, as well as
further improvements in waste sorting.
The Commission does not only foresee short and long term improvements in the real estate
portfolio in Brussels, but will also continue the efforts in energy saving measures, further
reduction of single use plastics and better waste sorting facilities. The success of these actions
relies heavily on the awareness and the participation of each Commission staff member.
In a future of environmental challenges, such as the Green Deal and a new legal framework, the
EC services and in particular OIB will continue to invest in the improvement of the
Commission's environmental performance, contributing this way to a more sustainable
European Union.

ANNEX A: BRUSSELS – ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES
Brussels is the largest site in the European Commission real estate portfolio hosting the headquarters of
the Commission, including its flagship building the Berlaymont. The Office for Infrastructures and
Logistics in Brussels (OIB) has the mission of ensuring a functional, safe and comfortable workplace for
more than 27 000 staff members, spread across over 1 000 000 m² of mostly office space.
A1
Overview of core indicators at Brussels since 2005
OIB has been collecting data on core indicators for the Brussels site since 2005. Their values in 2005 and
from 2014 to 2019 are shown in Table A1, along with performance trend, and targets where applicable for
2020.

* Target for %improvement for the period 2014-2020, reviewed in 2018
(upwards for indicators already met, while keeping the ones not yet achieved- decision EMAS Steering Committee Sept/2018)
Since EMAS registration in 2005 consumption for all parameters has reduced considerably. Per capita
figures in 2019 show improved environmental performance since 2018 for every parameter except water
consumption. Vehicles CO2 emissions per km have also increased. Energy consumption a show
significant decrease (of 7.9 %, 3.9% respectively) measured per person and per square metre in relation to
2018, due to the inclusion in the scope of two new buildings (MERO and MO15), accounting for an
addition in floor space of 24 688 m². CO2 emissions in buildings follow the same trend, showing a 6.4%
decrease measured per capita and 2.3% measured per m² when compared with 2018 figures. Water
consumption has increased by 0.7% and 5.1%, per capita and per m², due to technical incidents recorded
in three buildings. Non-hazardous waste production per capita decreased by 1.1% compared to the
previous year and the ratio of separated waste improved further by 1.6%. Office paper consumption per
person dropped an extra 8.0%.
Overall progress towards the targets set for 2020 is quite positive is most areas – these having already
been met for energy and water (measured per person) and office paper consumption and for non
hazardous waste generation, while for vehicle fleet CO2 emissions the target has almost been achieved as
well. Buildings energy consumption and, as a consequence, associated CO2 emissions, reflect relatively
harsh weather conditions compared to 2014 (reference year), which was quite mild. The evolution of the
EMAS system in Brussels is as shown below:

Staff in the EMAS perimeter includes those working for Executive Agencies that are located in buildings
managed by the Commission and within the EMAS scope1. EMAS applies to the whole of the Brussels
site. From year to year however, there may be changes in the total number of buildings as the portfolio of
occupied buildings evolves. Only one building is not registered under EMAS in 2019, PALM, which will
undergo major refurbishment, while MERO and MO15, recently occupied by the Commission in
Brussels, have been added to the scope.

Description of Brussels activities2
, context and key stakeholders
A2.1 Activities
Most of the Commission’s activities in Brussels are classic administrative tasks. Other services, include
22 cafeterias, 13 canteens, restaurants, archives, print shops, a car fleet, a medical service, crèches and
after school day care centres. The distribution of buildings is shown on page A8. Table A14 shows a
summary of some of the main characteristics of the buildings. The largest buildings are BERL, CHAR
and MADO, together representing 23% of the area (over 247 000m²) around 29% of the electricity
consumption and 22% of the gas consumption.
A2.2 Context – risks, and opportunities
Many of the buildings are located around the European Quarter on the Eastern side of Brussels. A cluster
of 10 buildings is located further afield in the south east of the city, in the “Beaulieu” area. A further few
buildings are located outside the centre to the north and the south of Brussels including a sports centre at
Overijse, three office buildings, printing and central mail facilities in the Commune of Evere and
historical
archives
in
Kortenberg.
1 Staff figures in 2017 and 2018 were corrected (double counting of agencies staff in building COVE).
2 NACE codes associated with Brussels activities are: 99 – Activities of extraterratorial organisations and bodies; 84.1 Administration of the state
and the economic and social policy of the community.

ANNEX A: BRUSSELS
External issues and circumstances affecting Brussel's environmental performance
These have been analysed using PESTLE 3 criteria, and both risks and opportunities identified, and
reference to actions are presented below for the three most important points (the different criteria were
reanalysed, integrating the suggestions made by the external verifier during the audit in 2019):
1. Economic – Budget variations influence possible investments to reduce resource consumption.
Significative energy savings, leading to relevant reductions in the carbon footprint of the EC
depend on substantial investments in the real estate portfolio.
2. Environmental - Variation of seasonal temperatures from one year to another have an important
impact on energy consumption and generate variable buildings performances. The regulation of a
large number of technical installations is complex, but there is an opportunity to use technological
development for better efficiency and more rapid actions.
3. Legal – There is a growing number of environmental regulations and regional legal framework to
apply to the large portfolio of buildings in Brussels. It may become more difficult to comply with
requirements. Close collaboration with local authorities and regulatory bodies help improve the
environmental performance whilst ensuring legal compliance.
Internal issues and circumstances affecting Brussel's environmental performance
These have been analysed using ASCPF4 criteria, with consideration of both risks and opportunities, the
two most important are as follows:
1. Activities – Brussels’ site has a large portfolio of aging buildings, and OIB manages a large range
of activities and number of contractors, which increase the complexity of implementing many
environmental initiatives. However, there is an opportunity to act at many different levels and to
initiate a wide scope of actions.
2. Culture & employees – OIB has a client oriented culture and the needs of its clients have to be
addressed. Sometimes, political and operational realities are difficult to combine and there might
also be a divergence between clients’ needs and environmental priorities.
A2.3 Stakeholders (interested parties), compliance obligations risks and opportunities
The table below summarises the main OIB stakeholders, organised in “clusters” due to their large
number, especially in terms of contractors and suppliers.

More efficient use of natural resources
A4.1 Energy consumption
Buildings energy consumption data should be considered in the context of climatic conditions.
Analysis of degree data suggests that climatic conditions were significantly cooler over the
summer than the previous year, although warmer than every year since 2014 and thus more
cooling was necessary.

Figure A1 Annual buildings energy consumption (MWh) in the EMAS perimeter6 (indicator 1a)
Note: Diesel (fuel oil) is no longer used for heating buildings, but a small amount is consumed during periodic testing of
emergency diesel generators.
Per capita and consumption per square metre are presented in figures A2 and A3.
Figures A2 and A3: Evolution of total annual energy consumption for Brussels EMAS buildings
Total energy consumption for EMAS buildings (indicator 1a) reduced by 65% and 54% per capita and
per square metre respectively since the first EMAS registration in 2005. It decreased most rapidly
between 2005 and 2009, with smaller and more gradual gains recorded since. The reduction in both
indicators follows similar trends. Since heating uses gas (and not fuel oil) in all buildings, fuel
consumption is insignificant in comparison to that of electricity and gas, as it is only used for
emergency units, and not reported in this data. The overall gas consumption has decreased a further
1.4% in 2019, compared with the previous year, even though the last building that was heated with
fuel oil had seen its boilers changed to gas in 2016 (L-84/86, thus increasing the scope).
The electricity consumption decreased by 1.7% between 2018 and 2019 also reflecting the slightly
cooler conditions in the summer of 2018. This result contributed to a reduction in total energy
consumption of 1.6%, translated in a reduction of 8.0% measured per person and 3.9% measured per
square metre. The ocurrence of warmer temperatures in the summer, as witnessed in 2018, risks
adversely impacting electricity consumption, but guaranteeing a comfortable working environment for
staff remains a paramount concern.

Aiming at more comparable reporting on energy consumption, OIB has also adjusted the consumption
to the heating/cooling degree days (going into greater detail than in table A4), and used primary
energy figures rather than final energy as reported above. This will also allow for a more accurate
follow-up of the measures to be implemented under the regional legislation PLAGE (Plan Local
d’Action de Gestion Énergétique), which will use this metric and 2019 (or the 2018-2020 average) as
reference year.
The indicator kWh/m² represents the average of the Environmental Building Perfomance (EBP)
certificates for the whole portfolio, as issued by the regional authorities (Brussels Environment) for
each building.

The Annual action plan includes 20 active measures prioritising the reduction of energy consumption,
grouped and summarized here below:
- Energy efficiency plans, under the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) directive7 as well as
following recommendations from energy audits.
- Comfort and lighting hour’s optimization.
- Upgrading of lighting systems and installation of motion detectors.
- Insulation of heating pipes.
- Closure of buildings during the End of Year holiday period.
- Optimization of air flows.
- Launching of call for tender for energy meters, and
- Communicating with building owners on energy saving measures.

The overall share of renewable energy represented 57% of the total buildings energy consumption, and
this was achieved by purchasing electricity from renewable sources since August 2009. No additional
renewable energy sources were installed on site in 2019.
In 2018 20 plug-in hybrid vehicles were added to the fleet, replacing mostly diesel engine cars, adding
to the 13 fully electric already in use since 2017. In 2019 12 plug-in hybrid cars replaced mostly diesel
engine cars, thus bringing the total of full electric/plug-in hybrid vehicles to 45, representing 34% of
the fleet.
At the end of 2017, 122 electrical chargers were installed in across 12 Commission buildings (B-28,
BERL, BU25, CHAR, CSM1, F101, J-79, LX46, MADO, NOHE, ORBN and OVER), and the target
is to make such facilities available in all Commission car parks by 2023. This project seeks to facilitate
the use of electric cars, in line with the general policy of promoting greener transport modes, going
beyond the Brussels Region’s requirement (10% of parking spaces in existing buildings equipped with
electric chargers by 2023).

A4.2 Water consumption
Figures A4 and A5: Evolution of total annual water consumption for Brussels EMAS
buildings
Note total consumption increased up until 2013 because reporting was only for EMAS registered buildings
Figures A4 and A5 show a considerable reduction in water consumption since the initial EMAS
registration in 2005, with the 2019 value representing only 43% and 56% of the 2005 figure when
measured on a per capita and per square metre basis respectively. The rising trend in total water
consumption before 2013 is related to the steady growth of the EMAS area in that period.
Water consumption has remained relatively stable since 2013. Consumption dropped in 2016 from its
2014 peak, due to water saving measures implemented in several buildings, such as the widespread
installation of tap aerators , showing another significant (5.3%) reduction in 2018. In 2019 however, a
sharp (7.6%) increase in total consumption, translated into increases of 0.7% (per capita) and 5.1%
(per sq. m) that were due to technical incidents in three buildings (BREY, COVE and L130), which
have been addressed.
Saving measures undertaken since 2015 include improved water management, installation of leak
detection systems and loss prevention mechanisms. Installation of water saving devices in 10 priority
buildings9 has been also implemented across most of the remaining buildings. Initiatives aiming at the
reduction of Single Use Items, such as the installation of water fountains in the cafeterias, may have an
impact in overall consumption, as well as warmer temperatures during summer months, requiring for
an increased use of water for cooling and humidification.
A4.3 Office and printshop paper
Total office and printshop paper consumption at Brussels shows a long-term downward trend as
shown below.

ANNEX A: BRUSSELS
Figure A6: Evolution of total paper consumption at Brussels
Per capita breakdown is represented below:
Figure A7: Evolution of total paper consumption at Brussels (per capita)
Figure A7 shows that paper consumption10 (kg/person) follows a long lasting downwards trend,
reducing by more than 70% since 2005. In 2019 there was a 4.8% reduction over 2018 as consumption
fell from 639 tonnes to 608 tonnes.
These reductions are down to continued efforts to increase digital circulation and management of
documents, use of scanned documents, email and e-signing transfer of documents, replacing paper
signataires as well as the use of double sided printing when paper is necessary. The new print-on-
demand network printers, which started to be installed in 2018, have also contributed to this result.
Further significant reductions can only be achieved by more widespread use of digitalised procedures,
which require heavy investments in technology (on both hardware and software), thus enabling deeper
changes in staff printing behaviour.
Consumption of higher grade paper in the printshop is largely unchanged since 2006, although in 2019
it increased by 10% (to 226 kgs) due to a greater centralisation of printing services in Brussels.
The following actions have sought to reduce printshop paper consumption:
- close monitoring of paper consumption;
- improving electronic processes;

Reducing carbon footprint and air emissions
A5.1 Carbon footprint
Figures A8 and A9 show the contribution of components11 of the Commission's carbon
footprint measured as equivalent tonnes of CO2 emissions (T CO2e) for Brussels12.
Table A7: Annual CO2 (and equivalent) emissions (Tonnes CO2e)
Up until 2017 (and based on the reported data, which didn’t include fixed assets), the largest
contributors were emissions due to air travel for missions, combustion of fuels for buildings energy
consumption, and combustion of fuels for staff commuting. Starting 2018, the Commission also
reports on additional categories of scope three emissions13, such as fixed assets (buildings and IT),
contracts for goods and services as well as waste production. As shown in table A7, emissions from
buildings, as fixed assets, are estimated at over 28 000 tonnes, representing over 25% of the total, and
thus becoming the second largest source of emissions, underlining the importance of real estate policy.
Gas consumption for buildings heating is the third largest component, higher than emissions estimated
from commuting, and less than half of the estimated emissions due to air travel, which, with more than
34%, are the biggest contributor. Emissions due to electricity consumption are very low because 100%
of the supply comes from renewable sources.
11 Figures regarding potentially important contributors such as fixed assets, such as service contracts over which management has more
limited influence, are included only as of 2018. Goods and service contracts do not include catering.
12 Air travel emissions calculated using RFI12 = 2; Conversion factor used to calculate equivalent emissions for fuel consumption include
combustion (scope 1) and small upstream component (scope 3)
13 Reporting for buildings and fleet energy use also includes upstream emissions

ANNEX A: BRUSSELS
Figure A9: Carbon footprint elements (tonnes CO2e/person)
The data in Figure A9 show the carbon footprint per person, with 2018 representing a
significant increase due to the inclusion of the above-mentioned additional scope 3 data (4.38
tonnes CO2e/person instead of 2.65). Figures for 2019 show a further reduction to 4.01 tonnes
CO2e/person.
A5.2 CO2 emissions from buildings
a) Buildings (energy consumption)
The evolution of total emissions from buildings energy consumption is shown in Figure A10, followed
by per capita and per square metre in Figure A11. These follow broadly the same trend as energy
consumption. Emissions due to electricity consumption reduced considerably in 2009, when green
electricity was purchased accounting currently for 95% of the total consumption. Since 2018, diesel
fuel consumption has been insignificant, following the installation of gas boilers in the last remaining
building with diesel boilers (L-84/86).

EC Environmental Statement; report for 2019
Draft for verification
ANNEX A: BRUSSELS
Figure A11: CO2 emissions from buildings heating in the EMAS perimeter,
(tonnes per person and kg per square metre)
Figure A11 shows that CO2 emissions have reduced considerably since the first EMAS registration in
2005, with a large drop since purchasing around all electricity from 100% renewable sources in
August 2009 (and assuming that renewable electricity does not generate CO2 emissions). However
since 2011, emissions are largely unchanged which is consistent with Figures A1 and A2 that show
gas consumption has decreased very slightly over this period on a per person and square metre basis.
Nevertheless, 6.4% and 2.3% reductions in CO2 emissions (in tonnes/person and kg/m², respectively)
have been recorded in 2019, compared to 2018.
b) Buildings -other greenhouse gases (refrigerants)
A
refrigerant is a substance, commonly a fluid, used in refrigeration cycles. In previous years, special
attention was given to fluorocarbons, particularly R22 gas, which in compliance with the legislation on
ozone depletion had to be phased out. A large-scale operation was launched in 2014-2015 either
replaced installations containing R22 by new ones using a different gas (operation "lift & drop"), or by
removing R22 and recharging with a new gas (operation "retrofit"). Additional refrigerants have been
monitored since 2013.

OIB has monitored the total quantity of refrigerants in technical installations (excluding catering), and
losses since 2005. Figure A12 shows that total losses have decreased significantly by 33% in 2019
from 809 to 542 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Each kilogram of refrigerant lost may be equivalent to
between 1 000 and 5 000 kg of CO2 e.

Actions were undertaken since 2011 to phase out certain HFC and HCFC installations, such as the
removal of R22 in 2014. The phasing out and substitution of refrigerants type R404a, R507 or R134a,
used in kitchen cooling equipments, and R407c, R410a, used in HVAC installations, is scheduled for
2020, 2025 or 2030, following the applicable legislations, which are closely monitored. Losses in
2019, acccording to Figure 12 were from R410A and R407C, the most widely used colling fluids.

Brussels operates a vehicle fleet of 131 leased cars, a number that has stabilised since 2017 as
indicated in Table A9. In 2019, both the number and the proportion of cars with Euro 6 engines
decreased, following the inclusion in the fleet of an extra 12 plug-in hybrid vehicles, which, adding the
full electric vehicles, represented in 2019 33% of the whole fleet.
The CO2 emissions have steadily reduced since 2013. Table A9 also shows a switch from diesel to
petrol engines, demonstrated by the respective CO2 emissions: while in 2013 CO2 emissions from
diesel represented 97% of the total, in 2019 it represented only 64%.
Figure A13 shows how vehicle emissions (per km) and average vehicle use have evolved.
Page A19 of A32
Annex A: Brussels
EC Environmental Statement; report for 2019
Draft for verification
ANNEX A: BRUSSELS
Figure A13: Emissions per km and distance travelled per vehicle
Initiatives undertaken since 2015 include systematic replacement of vehicles having reached the end of
their economic life-cycle with more environmentally friendly models, with features such as lower
engine capacity, hybrid technology or electric motors (new hybrid engine vehicles added in 2018- 20
and 2019- 12, adding to the 13 electrically powered vehicles in place). The Commission also provides
drivers with ‘eco-driving’ training. Since 2015, OIB includes the "ecoscore" label for cars, advised by
the Brussels Capital Region, in its car fleet management.
b) Missions and local work based travel (excluding Commission vehicle fleet)
There were no specific site level targets since 2014 or management approved action plans to reduce
CO2 emissions from missions. Ongoing initiatives undertaken at corporate level in 2015 to encourage
staff to consider less energy intensive alternatives for mission travel included:
i) evaluating the use of videoconferencing within the Commission;
ii) promoting videoconferencing in DGs and using monthly utilisation reports;
iii) continuing to promote the use of service bicycles; and
iv) continuing to distribute tickets for journeys on public transport within Brussels.
Figure A14 shows the number of trips undertaken using service bicycles to attend internal or external
meetings or events in Brussels.
Figure A14: Trips made by Commission bicycle
Page A20 of A32
Annex A: Brussels
EC Environmental Statement; report for 2019
Draft for verification
ANNEX A: BRUSSELS
Overall, each year around 20 000 trips are made using Commission bikes. Figures for 2019 show a
significant increase in bike trips of over 10%, including the ones using the 35 electrical bikes (out of
280) introduced to the fleet in the last two years.
c) Commuting
Initiatives undertaken in 2019 concerning commuting included:
i) continued financial support for public transport season tickets for staff who give up the right to
permanent access to a parking space;
ii) installing additional bicycle parking and showers in Commission buildings;
iii) promoting the "Bike to Work" and "Bike Experience" schemes of external organisations;
iv) promoting car-pooling, and assisting staff in finding car-pooling partners via a dedicated
Intranet site;
v) exploring options for joint schemes with local bike partners such as "Villo";
vi) drafting the new multi-annual Mobility Plan;
vii) compliance with the regional legislation COBRACE, aiming at the reduction of parking space
in office buildings
The graph below shows the split between the main commuting modes used by the EC staff in Brussels
in 2017, compared with 2014 figures (date of the previous triannual Mobility Survey). Public transport
is consistently the preferred means of transport, followed by private car and bicycle, as main
commuting mode.14
Figure A14a: Commuting modes for EC Staff in Brussels
A5.4 Total air emissions of other air pollutants (SO2, NO2, PM)
Brussels is one of several European cities experiencing high levels of airborne pollution. The EC
occupies more than 60 buildings with large HVCA (Heating, Ventilation, Cooling and Air
Conditioning) installations, and uses a fleet of over 100 predominantly diesel vehicles, even though
their numbers and percentage of the total are reducing: the Commission must ensure that it is not
unduly contributing to this problem.
The pollutants typically released into the air are those of combustion; therefore, boilers and vehicle
engines constitute a source of pollution. OIB started to collect data in 2013 to improve reporting on
these atmospheric pollutants, and the Commission completely phased out fuelled boilers, in 2017.

Improving waste management and sorting
A6.1 Non hazardous waste
Figure A15: Evolution of total non-hazardous waste in Brussels (tonnes)
Figure A15 indicates that waste generated15 per person has reduced by over 35% since 2005. Unsorted
waste and paper/carton make up a large percentage (over 82%). From 2014 to 2016, data include the
weight of office furniture recovered by Oxfam under a contract that was also used for recycling/reuse
of obsolete IT equipment. As of mid-2016 and throughout 2017, 2018 and 2019, this procedure was
replaced by the sorting of the materials (metal and wood) performed at the OIB’s warehouse (and then
recovered by Suez) as well as the return to the suppliers (for chairs and desks) for reuse/recycling. (For
DIGIT IT obsolete equipment, see section A6.2).
Results in 2019 show a significant per capita reduction of 16%, compared with the 2014 reference
year. In overall terms, the figures show a transfer of unsorted waste to other categories, which may
indicate a better sorting behaviour by the staff.
The digitalisation of archives have contributed to an increase in paper waste (1.7%, from 2072 in 2018
to 2108 tonnes in 2019).
Principles of circularity were incorporated into a new waste management contract that came into force
in May 2017. OIB has launched other initiatives on waste management since 2015, which are still
ongoing, such as:
i) improving the selective sorting of waste using sorting bins in areas and buildings for public use;
ii) exploring ways of reducing transport distances to reduce the environmental impact of vehicles
used by staff engaged in waste transport;
iii) promoting the implantation of collaborative working areas which reduces the number of waste
containers available and consequently improve waste sorting; and
iv) reducing the number of individual bins.
In 2019, the measures introduced in the previous years with regard to the reduction of Single Use
Plastic items continued to receive great attention. The OIB has successfully launched a series of
initiatives in this regard, namely the full replacement of plastic cups in water fountains and vending
machines by recycled and recyclable paper ones and the use of specific bins aimed at this type of
15 Historically reported for total Commission staff

waste, spread all over the Commission buildings in Brussels. Wooden stirrers replaced plastic stirrers
in cafeterias and restaurants, and the latter removed from vending machines. In addition, it is no longer
possible to order plastic cups for catering services and events. In 2018, this approach was applied to all
the restaurants and cafeterias in all buildings in Brussels, where new water fountains were installed.
The introduction of sorting stations, allowing for a better waste sorting in offices, has been successful.
From installation mostly in buildings with open office space, starting in 2018 as a pilot project, it was
extended in 2019 to more buildings (B-28, MO15, J-99, PLB3, BU-1/5/9) and on the upper floors of
the Commission’s flagship buildings, BERLAYMONT (BERL). New pilot projects will be
implemented in 2020, such as COVE/COV2 and the remaining floors in the BERL.
A6.2 Hazardous waste
Per capita hazardous waste generation represents less than 10% of total waste. Since 2014, data
supplied by DG DIGIT relating to the weight of IT material collected by Oxfam (and more recently by
Close the Gap) for recycling and re-use have been incorporated in the hazardous waste data, and the
data series extrapolated back to 2006. In 2019, these figures increased from 55 to 137 tonnes, due to
higher quantities of PCs, laptops and portable phones collected. Regarding the other two main
contributors, the data for 2019 show a strong reduction in the “oil and fat” category (from 315.8 in
2018 to 156 tonnes in 2019), and a sharp increase in “buildings and lifts” (75.6 tonnes in 2018 to 122.8
in 2019).

A6.3 Waste sorting
OIB seeks to maximise the sorting of waste into potentially useful recycling streams, and minimise the
amount of unsorted "general" waste. Table A10 shows the proportion of total waste sorted typically

fluctuated between 54 and 58%, with 2019 showing a positive result closer to 60%. This result
compares favourably against the 53% average of waste sorting in Brussels-based companies16.

Protecting biodiversity
The OIB continuously strives to improve environmental impact in the building sector, despite the
urban character of the site (which explains the absence of a specific indicator), including adopting
several measures contributing, directly or indirectly, to protect biodiversity and including:
i) integrating and managing several green areas in its buildings;
ii) managing a green park at the Overijse site, with an area of 13 000 m²;
iii) introducing infrastructure measures such as green roofs in building projects such as that at
Overijse (roof 1 800 m²);
iv) opting for green procurement of goods and services: (e.g. where possible integrating
environmental considerations in the selection of construction materials); and
v) introducing the BREEAM assessment in recent real estate projects (MO15: BREEAM Excellent
rating; MERO building: BREEAM Very Good rating, and the future L130 project17).
A new project will be launched in 2020, looking at other possibilities of introducing biodiversity
protection in an urban environment (action 505 in the Global Annual Action Plan).
A8
Green Public Procurement
A8.1 Incorporating GPP into procurement contracts
OIB aims to apply "green" public procurement principles into its contracts exceeding 135 000 EUR
and has increased the number of contracts including such criteria in the last few years. The target was
to incorporate the criteria into all relevant contracts over 135 000 EUR (following the thresholds
defined in the EC Financial Regulation), and in 2019 this was achieved in all contracts, increased from
93% in 2017.
In 2016 a new IT programme, PPMT, was introduced, allowing for a closer identification and follow-
up of the GPP criteria indicator included in OIB procurement. OIB uses a three level classification of
the tenders (green, not green and green by nature), which gives sufficient detail in the analysis of the
environmental criteria. Tenders in 2019 have been ranked according to their degree of incorporating of
sustainable criteria from not green, to green by nature. Of 18 contracts 15 were considered as “green”
and 1 as “green by nature”, while the remaining 2 had no environmental features.
Action 54 of the Commission's Global Annual action plan has, since 2012, sought to integrate
systematically GPP or environmental criteria in call for tenders’ terms of reference and technical
specifications.

Demonstrating legal compliance and emergency preparedness
A9.1 Management of the legal register
Several services at the OIB are registered users of the Regulation Monitoring contract REMO, for
legislation relating to EMAS, technical equipment and persons with reduced mobility, launched by the
European Parliament. This monitors new regulations, and enables the OIB (through emails and links to
designated users) to be up-to-date on relevant legislation.
The Brussels environmental legal register (for the Brussels and Flemish regions) is updated every year
by an external consultant, and checked by OIB, ensuring the completeness and adequacy of the
registers in relation to the Commission’s obligations. The EMAS page in OIB’s intranet site invites
potential interested services to contact the EMAS team asking for further support on the follow-up of
legislative matters.
In Brussels, occupying a building requires an environmental permit, issued by the regional authorities.
In order to obtain these, the Commission must comply with the environmental legislation. Brussels
Environment, the regional environment and energy administration department, performs legal
compliance audits of the buildings on a regular basis. In addition, internal EMAS audits performed by
specialist external consultants and the external verification exercise check how the Commission
demonstrates legal compliance in relation to environmental legislation. From these audits we can
conclude that, for the Brussels site, the Commission correctly manages legal compliance in its
premises and engages in regular dialogue with local authorities on the subject.
A9.2 Prevention and risk management
OIB records statistics relating to the findings of buildings inspections of health, safety and
environment. These audits and inspections are based on permits and legal requirements for
each building and technical installation. Out of 1998 reports issued in 2019, 46% had no
remarks, while 39 % stated minor and 15% major non-conformities.
None of the major non-conformities recorded in 2019 by integrated inspections at OIB were
EMAS related. A number of previous controls have been updated to better meet
environmental needs:

A9.3 Emergency preparedness
Beyond the procedures and services in place at the European Commission, concerning
emergency preparedness and response related to health, safety and security incidents at work
(24/7 helpdesk line 22222), the OIB monitors the application of the legislation on well-being
at work, in particular the evaluation of risks and corrective measures with an impact on the
environment.
With regard to technical issues, the OIB also manages the 24/7 helpdesk line 55555, which
deals with technical malfunctioning in the buildings (lighting, heating, cooling, water, etc.).

completed the IRCA19 training in ISO 14001 lead audit. Another one has completed a Master’s degree
in Environmental Sciences and Management at ULB (Université Libre de Bruxelles). The final
dissertation, to be presented in September 2020, is linked to his work at OIB.
Starting in March 2019, the EMAS team at OIB welcomed a trainee under the Blue Book Program in
the European Commission.
A12 EMAS Costs and saving
For several years, the costs associated with running EMAS in terms of staff time and that of
supporting contracts and savings have been monitored. The estimated costs associated with parameters
such as energy and water consumption and waste generation and disposal have also been estimated.
These are presented in Table A14.

2) Including, in 2016 Executive Agencies in Commission managed buildings
3) Assuming non EMAS area have similar costs for energy as EMAS area
Energy is by far the largest single resource cost. The total energy costs decreased more than 55% since
2005, year of the first EMAS registration (approximately 11 Mio EUR in 2019, compared with almost
25 Mio EUR in 2005).
