Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Arcadis has established a robust set of climate commitments, aiming for Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions across its global operations by 2050, aligning with the Paris Agreement's goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Significant reduction targets include:

• Near-Term Targets:

  • A 70% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2026, from a 2019 baseline year.
  • A commitment to reduce emissions associated with air travel by 50% by 2025, compared to 2019 baseline emissions.
  • A commitment to reducing business travel emissions by 35% by 2025, from a 2019 baseline year.
  • Arcadis commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 71% by 2029 from a 2019 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 45% within the same timeframe.

• Long-Term Targets:

  • A 74% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per full-time employee by 2035, from a 2019 base year. This target is consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
  • Arcadis commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2035 from a 2019 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe.
  • The company aims to achieve Net Zero across its value chain by 2035.

Arcadis is a signatory to the Pledge to Net Zero and has committed to accelerating reductions to achieve Net Zero faster within its global operations. The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of the current decade.
