For long-term targets, Van Oord NV aims for a 96% reduction in absolute well-to-wake Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from offshore operations by 2040, from a 2023 base year, and to maintain 100% renewable electricity sourcing from 2030 through 2050. Furthermore, the company commits to a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and employee commuting by 2050 from a 2023 base year.
