With 180 employees from 18 different nationalities and an average age of 37, INBO presents itself as a young, international, and dynamic company operating across six different locations. The company focuses on merging city and nature while creating spaces that bring people together. INBO follows a user-oriented approach - actively involving the people who will eventually use these spaces in the design process. Sustainability plays a central role in the company's philosophy. INBO follows a multi-year Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy and has set an ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2025. Furthermore, the company places great emphasis on diversity and inclusion, providing equal opportunities and resources to all employees regardless of gender, origin, or religion.
