BESIX Group was founded in 1909 by the Stulemeijer family under the name Société Belge des Bétons (SBB).[23] After the First World War, the company participated in the reconstruction of Belgian ports and waterways destroyed during the conflict.[24]
In 1920, the SBB expanded its construction activities into several European countries, particularly France and Spain, and then into Africa from the end of the 1940s.[25]
In 1966, SBB created a subsidiary, Six Construct, to take charge of major development projects in the Middle East: via Six Construct, BESIX became in the ensuing decades a driving force in the development of the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.[26]
In 2004, 13 SBB senior managers, with the support of Orascom,[30] carried out a Leveraged Management Buy-Out. The group was thereupon delisted from the stock market[31] and renamed BESIX Group.[32] Johan Beerlandt, who had been with the company since 1974, became its new CEO.[33] In the following years, BESIX's turnover increased from 850 million euros in 2004 to 3.1 billion in 2011.[34]

BESIX participated in the construction of the first high-rise building in the world to obtain both LEED Platinum certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and High Environmental Quality (HQE) certification, for the Carpe Diem tower in the Parisian district of La Défense).[63] In Africa, BESIX has begun building one of Africa's tallest towers, the Mohammed VI Tower, which will also be one of the first high-rise buildings in Africa to achieve dual LEED Gold and HQE certification.[64]
Engineering & Innovation
BESIX has an internal engineering department which undertakes the design work and technical studies for its construction sites, especially for skyscrapers, marine infrastructures and civil engineering works.[65]
In 2020, BESIX Engineering was awarded the first worldwide Building Information Modeling (BIM) standard (ISO 19650-2).[66] In 2017, BESIX was the first Belgian construction company and the first general contractor in Europe to achieve maximum certification level in BIM[67][68] In 2018, BESIX and its subsidiary Vanhout took awards in each category presented at the 2018 BIM Awards.[69] In the 2017 BIM Awards, BESIX took awards in five out of six categories, also winning the BIM Award of the Year.[70]
In 2018, BESIX and Proximus, the leader in Belgium's ICT and Telecommunications sectors, set up a partnership to jointly develop a new generation of Smart Buildings, with priority to solutions promoting energy efficiency, comfort and safety.[71] In 2019, the companies inaugurated their very first smart building in Dordrecht, in the Netherlands.[72]
BESIX has developed initiatives in the field of Open Innovation.[73] These comprise the Clean Air project, developed by BESIX employees, that has made it possible to create plant walls for tunnels and roads for treating CO2.[74] In Dubai, other BESIX employees have developed 3D concrete printing solutions:[75] in 2020, they have printed the world's largest 3DCP façade.[40]

Created in 2009, it supports existing non-profit organizations, either through project financing or through skills provision.[77]
In 2017, the Chairman of the ILO Governing Body highlighted the differences in working conditions of migrant workers in the Middle East from one company to another, taking BESIX as an example of one of the companies with good practices in the area.[81]
In 2019, the director of Amnesty International in Belgium presented BESIX as the example to follow in terms of respect for workers' rights, particularly in Qatar.[82] He repeated similar comments in 2021 on the Belgian television channels BX1 and LN24.[83][84]
In 2022, BESIX, Belgian trade unions FGTB-ABVV and CSC-ACV, and BWI officially called upon the International Labour Organization (ILO) to recognize occupational health and safety as a fundamental right.[85]
Going beyond the ILO rules, BESIX has implemented various initiatives for the benefit of migrant workers, for example in terms of health coverage or quality of housing.[86] BESIX also organizes training courses for them in IT.[87]
