Van Oord's Carbon Emissions & Climate Commitments

Dutch construction firm Van Oord reported estimated Scope 1 emissions of 654,500,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 500,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 1,386,300,000 kg CO2e in 2025. This follows 2024 emissions of approximately 712,400,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,400,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 1,357,700,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Van Oord is committed to ambitious climate action, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets cascaded from Van Oord NV. They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by 2050.

Near-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute well-to-wake Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from offshore operations by 35% by 2030, from a 2023 base year.
• Increasing active annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 66% in 2023 to 80% by 2025, and to 100% by 2030.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and employee commuting by 25% by 2030, from a 2023 base year.

Long-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute well-to-wake Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from offshore operations by 96% by 2040, from a 2023 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and employee commuting by 90% by 2050, from a 2023 base year.
