Across the globe we come together to run, cycle, play soccer, row, climb or do yoga. It is a great opportunity for our growing number of employees to meet new faces outside the workplace, have fun together and maintain a healthy team spirit.

The year is always packed full of sporting events ranging from cycling and running in France to rowing in dragon boats in Belgium, to playing soccer in a football tournament in Singapore. In some countries our people even come together on a weekly basis for a healthy workout.

Every year we select a group of DEME Heroes to get more employees on board of the 'Energy@DEME' programme. The Heroes take the challenge to a life changing journey and receive medical and nutritional coaching throughout the year to climb a mountain by bicycle or to run a half marathon.
