This data reflects a significant operational footprint, with Scope 1 emissions primarily arising from direct fuel combustion and Scope 3 emissions largely attributed to upstream activities such as purchased goods and services. In 2023, the company recorded total emissions of about 617,171,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 29,049,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 380,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 589,743,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable increase in emissions from 2022, where total emissions were approximately 79,094,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 30,434,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 389,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 48,766,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Jan De Nul has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Jan De Nul NV, reflecting the broader corporate family's environmental impact. Overall, Jan De Nul's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced in reducing carbon footprints within the industry, while the lack of formal climate commitments suggests an area for potential improvement in their sustainability strategy.
