At TÜV SÜD Nederland B.V. we attach great importance to sustainable business operations. We want to minimise the negative effects of our activities on the environment. In order to contribute to the reduction of the greenhouse gas CO2, which is released during the burning of fossil fuels and is responsible for global warming, we have decided to embrace the CO2 prestatieladder as our management system for CO2 reduction.
In 2009, ProRail took the initiative to work together to reduce CO2 and has developed a tool to monitor and reduce CO2 emissions. This tool is the CO2 performance ladder with five levels (steps). Since early 2011, this instrument has been transferred to the Foundation for Climate-Friendly Procurement and Business (SKAO). Click here to visit our page at SKAO.
The CO2 performance ladder will help us to identify our CO2 emissions, take appropriate measures and monitor progress.
Yes, we have calculated our CO2 footprint for the year 2024. The 2024 footprint is 62.04 tonnes of CO2. This is 13% less emissions in absolute terms than in the previous year. However, we also look at our CO2 emissions relatively to our turnover. This is shown in adjacent graphics.
TÜV SÜD Nederland B.V.'s target is to emit approximately 20% less CO2 in 2027, compared to our reference year of 2021. To achieve this, we will gradually implement a number of measures over the next few years, such as:
✓ Electrification of the vehicle fleet,
✓ purchase of green electricity and,
✓ raise the awareness of our employees and chain partners.
