The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organization, and there are no reported SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. Overall, while Ballast Nedam has made strides in emissions reporting, further clarity on their long-term climate strategies and reduction commitments would enhance their sustainability profile.
