In 2017, Koninklijke VolkerWessels B.V. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 125,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 9,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of around 134,000,000 kg CO2e for the Netherlands. This data reflects the company's commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, 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 absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets indicates that the company has not yet formalised a structured approach to reducing its carbon footprint in line with global climate goals. As a current subsidiary of Royal VolkerWessels B.V., emissions data is cascaded from the parent organisation, which may influence its overall climate strategy. The company is positioned within an industry that is increasingly prioritising sustainability, yet it has not publicly committed to specific climate pledges or initiatives at this time.
