CO2 performance ladder
At ECG, we are consciously working on theCO2 emissions resulting from our business operations. That is why we are busy limiting our impact on the climate. This is done by means of theCO2-Performance ladder(SKAO) on level 3, in which all internalCO2 emissions are inventoried and the corresponding reduction measures and objectives are explained. This page gives an overview of the components of theCO2-Performance ladder, here we also make the half-yearlyCO2 emission figures available.
TheCO2 Performance Ladder consists of four parts: insight, reduction, transparency and participation. These components are explained in more detail below.
Insight
This section provides insight into ECG's emissions and offers information that is used to formulate objectives and measures. ECG has the following energy flows:
- Natural gas
- Diesel (HVO)
- Electricity
- EURO 95 petrol
- Hybrid equipment
Reduction
The reduction target for scope 1 emissions is 3% compared to 2023, with 2024 as the target year.
The reduction target for scope 2 emissions is 50% of the emissions in 2024 compared to 2023.
ECG's goal is to implement entirely emission-free inner-city projects from January 1, 2025. In doing so, ECG is in line with the objectives of a large number of municipalities to reduce emissions in inner-city areas.
In addition, ECG's goal is to carry out projects completely emission-free from 2030 and thus contribute to a climate-neutral Netherlands.
Transparency
With clear communication to the outside world, we give everyone insight into the currentCO2 performance. This is done via this page, where a new version of theCO2 inventory is published every six months.
Participation
We participate in two initiatives to gather information aboutCO2 reduction. First, we are members of Positive Impact Foundation where we attend workshops to learn from experts in the field of sustainability. More information about this initiative can be found at: https://positieveimpact.nu/
Second, we are members of the Gelderland Energy Agreement where we are making our contributions to get the province climate neutral by 2050 with a milestone of 55% reduction by 2030 compared to 1990. More information about this initiative can be found at: https://www.geldersenergieakkoord.nl/
The 2022 CO2 performance report can be downloaded here.
The 2023 CO2 performance report is available for download here.
The interim CO2 performance report for the first half of 2024 can be downloaded here.
