🚴♀️ The strength of the wolf is the pack. In other words, a team is only as strong as the team culture you build.

To provide an environment where our cyclists can grow, thrive and become stronger together. Because with this team, we're creating more than athletic achievements. We're creating stories. Dreams. A future. 🎥Discover the backstory behind our sponsorship in this video. #greatplacetogrowforall

AG and Walibi's joint message is loud and clear: protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays! After all, prevention is necessity, not a luxury: 1 out of 5 people in Belgium will get a skin cancer diagnosis at some point in their lives. 🔎 This initiative is part of our broader summer campaign, with a total of 83 sunscreen dispensers all over Belgium, from the seaside to music festivals and amusement parks.

📉📈 Financial outlook mid-2025: market turbulence tests investors' nerves and calls for caution The first half of 2025 was a wild rollercoaster on the financial markets. Geopolitical tensions and President Trump's fickle policy decisions caused unprecedented volatility, to levels exceeded only twice before in the past 30 years. Still, the fundamentals remain quite robust. Overall, the U.S. market demonstrates resilience while European equities are gaining significant investor interest. At AG, our experts cautiously navigate the stormy waters: with a diversified approach and a keen eye for opportunities. 🌱 AG remains resolutely committed to sustainability. With Elevate27, we invest in assets with a sustainable impact on society: from green bonds and renewable energy to low-income housing and battery farms that accelerate the energy transition.

🌞 Summer camps: a hotspot for play, adventure and outdoor fun. But how do we keep children protected from the sun's harmful rays? A survey commissioned by AG shows that 6 out of 10 children have experienced at least one episode of sunburn while at camp. And not out of unwillingness. Quite the opposite: both children and their camp counsellors believe in the importance of sun protection, but find it a challenge to keep up with in practice. This is what prompted AG to launch an awareness campaign at camps this summer, in cooperation with Flemish youth group Chirojeugd Vlaanderen and its Walloon counterpart Patro. We'll be setting up free sunscreen dispensers at various camp locations across the country. We'll also be handing out educational packs with UV-reactive tattoos and fun ideas for games.  This is how we make a difference together - for a carefree and sun-safe summer at camp. Read all about it in our press release 👇  #supporterofyourlife #prevention NL: https://lnkd.in/emHd--xi  FR: https://lnkd.in/ext4fy3P
