Dura Vermeer: Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

Based in the Netherlands, Dura Vermeer, a prominent construction firm, reported a total of approximately 507.6 million kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.

For 2024, Scope 1 emissions amounted to approximately 12.4 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, using the market-based approach, were approximately 0.13 million kg CO2e. The majority of their reported footprint stems from Scope 3 emissions, totalling around 495.1 million kg CO2e. Key contributors to their Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 325.8 million kg CO2e), the use of sold products (around 105.1 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 20.2 million kg CO2e).

In the preceding year, 2023, Dura Vermeer's total emissions were approximately 539.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stood at about 28.2 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 1.2 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were around 510.3 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being a significant component at approximately 310.9 million kg CO2e.

The company has set ambitious climate targets. Dura Vermeer's overarching ambition is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. To support this, they aim to halve their CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to a 2022 baseline. Specifically, they target at least a 90% reduction in emissions by 2050 compared to 2022, with any remaining emissions to be offset. For Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, they aim for a 90% reduction by 2050 from a 2022 base year. Dura Vermeer also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. Furthermore, they are working towards sourcing 100% renewable electricity
