Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Van Oord NV has set Science Based Targets (SBTi) with a 2023 base year. Key commitments include:

• Near-Term Targets:

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

• Long-Term Targets:

  • A 96% absolute reduction in well-to-wake Scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions from offshore operations by 2040.
  • A 90% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and employee commuting by 2050.
  • Committing to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.

These targets are aligned with a 1.5°C warming pathway. Van Oord NV is a "BA1.5 member" and has committed to an overall Net-Zero Target by 2050. The emissions data reported is cascaded from Van Oord NV, its corporate entity.
