The Vilvoorde site is located northeast of Brussels. The Senne River is located about 200 m northwest of the land. The Willebroeck Canal flows about 50 metres northwest of the Senne. The Antwerp-Brussels railway line runs along southeast of the buildings. The railway is located on a four-metre high embankment. Various industrial activities are located around the site.
The site entered the Renault group's reporting scope in 2001.
RIB’s lower environmental impact, particularly as concerns the lower water and energy consumption, is the result of staff commitment to more efficient use of facilities and buildings.
