Arup in the Netherlands CO2 Prestatieladder reports
To safeguard a sustainable future, it is essential to balance economic growth with social and environmental development. At Arup, we feel a strong responsibility to contribute to this transition. In the Netherlands, we have adopted the CO2 Performance Ladder as a tool to map and reduce our CO2 emissions, within our organisation and the chain in which we operate.
Measuring and reporting of the carbon footprint of our organisation is a fundamental first step in our action cycle. Our footprint is reported every year in accordance with the GHG-protocol, and as to comply with our CO2 Performance Ladder level 5.
Proper implementation of the system is awarded with a system certificate, which provides benefits in the procurement process of construction projects. Increased efforts regarding energy savings, use of sustainable energy and CO2 reduction are rewarded with a higher score on the ladder. At Arup we’re proud that from 2019 onwards we’ve been awarded the highest-level certificate (level 5)
