Specifically, Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 125,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were approximately 9,000,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects the company's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. It is important to note that the emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, Royal VolkerWessels B.V., indicating a corporate family relationship. This context highlights the company's role within a larger organisational framework, which may influence its overall climate strategy and commitments. As of now, Koninklijke VolkerWessels B.V. continues to operate within the construction and infrastructure sector in the Netherlands, where addressing carbon emissions is increasingly critical for sustainability and regulatory compliance.
