Building a green identity for the European Parliament

The European Parliament in Brussels is the Community institution representing the 470 million citizens of the Member States of the European Union. As the only institution of the European Union directly elected by the citizens, the European Parliament exercises three fundamental powers: legislative power, budgetary power and political control over the European institutions.

In the impressive hemisphere, Members of the European Parliament are received three out of every four weeks for additional plenary sessions and meetings of parliamentary committees and political groups.

With Iris Landscaping, our mission is to build a green identity for the European Parliament and make it recognisable at a glance through the decor and greenery. After all, a green working environment not only improves the well-being of the staff, it also beautifies the offices and boosts the corporate image of the European Parliament. Both visitors and employees experience the benefits of an attractive and inspiring workplace.

• In order to create and strengthen the green identity of the European Parliament in Brussels, we have designed green spaces in the external and internal areas of the institution. The choice of plants is well thought out, the pots are personalized and tailor-made, all thanks to our creativity and years of experience.
• Plants have a proven positive influence. They improve the mood, relieve stress, and promote creativity and productivity. Moreover, they contribute to a healthier indoor climate and make the workplace a pleasant environment. Reasons enough to work with a whole range of green experience elements. We maintain more than 1,000 plants in the various buildings of the European Parliament, making the parliamentary facilities an inspiring place to work for clients, MPs or members of the government.
• Thanks to the quality and transparency of our reports, the European Parliament can follow up and monitor the work carried out in a transparent manner.

This is a good example of our role: to provide peace of mind and well-being so that our customers’ productivity remains optimal and they can concentrate fully on their core business.

This sustainable green identity that we have built together has paid off.
