(IM)pact

With what we do, we want to have impact.
And... make a pact with you.

Impact

Because you organize your event for a reason: is it to reward your employees, thank customers, get your team on the same page or optimize your sales. You invest and obviously want to see results from it.

Contour helps you maximize the impact of your event, to achieve the intended goals.

At the same time, most of our projects have a major impact at:

  • Nature
  • Climate
  • The environment
  • The locals
  • Society at large

Mostly positive (employment, nature protection, CSR projects, education, ...), but we should certainly also dare to look at the other side of the coin (mass tourism, endangered habitats for fauna & flora, increase in greenhouse gases, exploitation of personnel, ...).

Contour stands for CONscious TOURrism - conscious travel - and would love to take the adventure with you to make your event, meeting or incentive a conscious story!

How we do that?

PACT

We are happy to make a pact with you.

A sincere handshake that communicates your intentions and validates ours.

How then?

We ask you the questions to find out how consciously you want to work on your own.

  • What destination do you want to travel to?
  • How do you want to get to the destination?
  • What activities do you want to schedule locally?
  • Are there CSR elements you want to incorporate?
  • Where are we going to spend the night?
  • What do we serve at meals?
  • What info do we give to participants?

Once we know your needs , we get to work on our own STGs (Sustainable Tourism Goals) that are derived from the UN's SDGs.

See below Contour's STGs.

With what we do, we want to have impact.
And... make a pact with you.

Go Forest & Go Ocean

We support GoForest & GoOcean. For every project we do, a contribution per person per day goes to the GoFamily.

Go Forest is a young company founded in 2020 with Sarah Parent and Antoine Geerinckx as the driving forces behind the tree-planting, planet-saving mission. Go Forest works with structural partners who have been working on reforestation for some 15 years.
They believe that sustainability should be something natural. Deforestation is a problem that affects us all, and at Go Forest, they work every day to find a solution!

Go Ocean was founded in 2023, as a sister company to Go Forest.
Later, their Go Smart Digital colleague Tim Sterckx joined them out of a great motivation to accelerate ocean recovery in his network as well.
In January 2024, they attracted investor and new shareholder RAFF plastics, which brought in additional expertise, a new network and unstoppable enthusiasm.

One by one, both organizations employ amazing people with a strong vision, endless enthusiasm and the motivation to take Go Forest & Go Ocean to the next green level.
