Sustainability

As a company at the center of society, we take our social responsibility seriously. Not only with words, but also with deeds. This is why the DAEL Group uses the CO2 Performance Ladder to formulate objectives and reduce our footprint.

CO2-footprint

In order to effectively reduce CO2 emissions, we calculate our CO2 footprint annually. Based on this metric, we set our targets each year. Measures that we take into account for this purpose include the choice of materials and techniques that are less harmful to the environment and the reduction of fuel consumption. We also promote environmental awareness among our employees. We have done a lot in recent years to reduce our CO2 footprint as much as possible. We recently moved to our new, energy-neutral premises. This move is in line with our sustainable ambitions. It marks an important milestone toward environmentally friendly business operations.

Results of the last years

CO2 Performance Ladder level 5

In addition to calculating our CO2 footprint, we work with the CO2 performance ladder SKAO. We quantify our ambitions and make them transparent to our stakeholders.

The DAEL Group is currently certified at level 5 in accordance with the CO2 Performance Ladder.

SKAO (Stichting Klimaatvriendelijk Aanbesteden & Ondernemen) is the independent owner and manager of the CO2 Performance Ladder and responsible for the use and further development of the certification scheme.

Long-term objective

Ericsson, one of our clients, has signed on to the Paris Agreement. Other participating companies include ING, Achmea and Vattenfall. Presented in 2015, this agreement has the ultimate goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2050. As an Ericsson supplier, DAEL also has a role in this. Moreover, this goal fits perfectly with the DAEL Group's ambitions and goals for the CO2 Performance Ladder. Therefore, the DAEL Group has set the goal in line with the Paris Agreement: 50% reduction in CO2 emissions in 2030 compared to 2019.
