Our sustainability targets

We are working hard to achieve CO2-neutral construction sites by 2030. That is why we already reduced our CO2 emissions by more than 57% between 2008 and 2020. By 2021, we will have achieved a 35% CO2 reduction compared to our new base year of 2019.

A few of the steps we are taking:

• Making building chains and units more sustainable
• Investing in solar panels at real estate locations
• Investing in cleaner and zero-emission equipment on building sites
• Green energy at construction, production and office sites
• Electrification of the vehicle fleet
• Cooperation with partners such as De Groene Koers and Emission-free Network Infra

Besides 100% CO2-neutral construction sites by 2030, we have the ambition to achieve energy-neutral operation by 2040. We prevent the use of new raw materials by designing and building in a detachable and adaptable way and by using reused and recycled materials as much as possible. Whenever new raw materials are needed, they are bio-based and non-toxic as much as possible.

New fuels

More and more hydrogen filling stations are being built in the Netherlands and abroad. The specialists of our Ballast Nedam Industriebouw division have been working on innovations in the field of this new fuel for decades. They have already realised hydrogen filling stations throughout the Benelux, where they work within the WaterstofNet platform. With members from industry and government, this platform develops sustainable hydrogen projects, making emission-free transport and energy storage increasingly feasible.
