Royal Bam

Royal BAM, a construction work company headquartered in the Netherlands, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. In 2025, the company reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1.54 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 38 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 1.50 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Scope 2 emissions for 2025 were approximately 4 million kg CO2e (market-based).

Further details on emissions for previous years are available:

• 2024: Total emissions were approximately 1.69 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 41 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 at approximately 1.64 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were about 8 million kg CO2e.
• 2023: Total emissions amounted to approximately 2.62 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 62 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were around 2.55 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 6 million kg CO2e.
• 2022: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 79.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 8.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
• 2021: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 94 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 12.3 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
• 2020: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 95.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 10 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
• 2019: Total emissions were approximately 3.29 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 117 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 14 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 3.15 billion kg CO2e.
• 2017: Scope 2 (location-based) emissions were approximately 32.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 4.19 billion kg CO2e from the use of sold products and 3.31 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Scope 1 data was not available for this year.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Royal BAM has established several ambitious climate targets:

• Net-Zero by 2050: BAM has a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-validated net-zero target for 2050 covering all greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain.
• Scope 1 & 2 Emission Reduction:
  • An SBTi-validated target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2030, compared to a 2015 base year. This is equivalent to a 90% reduction per million Euros in revenue.
  • A commitment to maintain a minimum of 90% absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from 2030 through 2050, relative to a 2015 base year.
  • Previously, BAM achieved its 2023 reduction target, decreasing Scope 1 and 2 CO2 intensity by 56% compared to 2015.
• Scope 3 Emission Reduction:
  • An SBTi-validated target to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a 2019 base year.
  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year.
• Renewable Electricity: A commitment to increase annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 50% in 2015 to 100% by 2030.

These targets are aligned with the 1.5°C trajectory of the International Energy Agency's Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario. Royal BAM's emissions data and reduction targets are not cascaded from a parent organisation.
