Eco-responsible offices, a collaborative atmosphere and a community that makes a difference... Welcome to Mundo-Lab! 🏢🌳

For the record, the Mundo project was born in 2008 thanks to Brussels associations committed to the environment, sustainable development and fair trade. 🌱 Their dream? A workplace that reflects their values : sustainable, eco-responsible and shared. With Mundo-Lab, they transformed a building into an eco-designed and eco-managed office space, giving birth to the Mundo Matongé in Ixelles... and the concept of the "Mundo" centres!

Today, 6 Mundo centres exist in Belgium : 3 in Brussels (Matongé, Trône, Madou), as well as in Antwerp, Namur and Louvain-la-Neuve. These spaces welcome 230 organizations – associations, NGOs, and social enterprises – in a stimulating working environment aligned with their values. At Mundo, each member (much more than just a tenant!) is part of a community where exchanges encourage collaborations and new joyful synergies! 🧡

Did you know? Mundo's daily management is designed to be 100% sustainable ! ♻️ Yes, responsible consumption is everywhere and at every stage of the project: renovation and construction with a circular approach, green corners with a particular attention to biodiversity, natural, local and labelled materials, optimised energy and water management, waste reduction, choice of service providers, pooling of infrastructure and resources, etc. Nothing is left to chance, to the delight of all (and the planet!). 🌍💚 One thing is certain, it's that the team has put all its heart into creating pleasant and inspiring workspaces, making it a real trademark !

And the icing on the cake is that each center hosts a restaurant that offers healthy, local and seasonal dishes, available for catering from members and room tenants... A gourmet partnership that delights more than one! 👩‍🍳🥗

Mundo-Lab - image d'équipe - Meet My Job

Mundo-Lab is above all a dynamic, close-knit, proactive, open team ready to move mountains, where people are important. 🧡

And because we all like to share convivial moments, the team organizes lots of activities : Christmas lunch, New Year's breakfast or afterworks in Pecha Kucha mode, where everyone introduces themselves in 20 images of 20 seconds... Laughter guaranteed! 😄 Recently, the finance team even surprised everyone with an afterwork by inviting a salsa teacher ! Good times and lots of laughter on the program! 💃

And to top it all off, the team organises an annual green in magnificent places such as the Eau d'Heure dams, the North Sea or the Belgian Ardennes. 🌲 This brings together all the teams of the 6 centres, from members of the field to the management, and it is often an opportunity for some to meet for the first time in a friendly atmosphere and outside of work. The team always spends a night on site, strengthening the bonds by experiencing community life together! 🤸‍♀️

As you can see, at Mundo-Lab, there is never a dull moment : every day is full of stimulating and enriching challenges ! And if you want to progress, the team will be there to accompany you in your evolution and support your initiatives, which gives you real freedom of action !

Oh yes, here, wearing sneakers is widely allowed! We are told that it is even possible to meet people in socks in the corridors... 🧦 A cool place, we tell you!

Isn't joining a caring and supportive team that shares the same strong and committed values, in a relaxed and warm atmosphere? 🤗 Go ahead and apply now!

Our commitments to a sustainable world

From a local point of view, we can say that Mundo-Lab is very present: Mundo-Lab creates a real synergy between the organizations installed in its centers, thus promoting a community of actors of change ! 🤗 In addition to the offices, each centre comes alive with restaurants open to the public and various solidarity events (blood donations, collection campaigns or solidarity donations).

Mundo-Lab also sets up a vegetable garden in collaboration with neighbourhood associations and offers collection points for Brita, Bebat and other types of resources, accessible to all. 🌱✨ The centres are committed to the environment with compost areas, Natagora gardens for biodiversity, and large bicycle parking areas to encourage soft (and sporting!) mobility. 🚴‍♀️

At Mundo-Lab, environmental responsibility is at the heart of every project! 🌍 By redeveloping buildings or constructing new ones, Mundo-Lab focuses on a sustainable and circular approach to minimize its impact. This vision is reflected in the choice of natural, local and labelled materials, optimised energy and water management, waste reduction and a particular focus on biodiversity in outdoor spaces.

In Louvain-la-Neuve, this model takes on a unique scale: the centre uses 90% reused furniture, as well as 100% of the interior glazing from recycling, 46% of the reused doors, and 1250 m² of false floors. The technical feat lies in the use of 68 tonnes of reused steel beams, a first in Europe that reduces the environmental impact by up to 20 times compared to new steel! Wow! 🤩👌

Mundo-Lab's mission is to provide valuable support to associations by providing them with a framework where they can fully focus on their social mission , which promotes the effectiveness of their (beautiful) actions. 🧡 Mundo-Lab also selects its partners and subcontractors carefully, giving priority to reintegration projects through work and social economy actors (such as APAM and the Namur resource centre).
