CO2 Performance ladder

We stand for sustainability

As a business firmly rooted in the community, we take our corporate social responsibilities very seriously. Not just in words, but in deeds as well. To clarify which measures we take, the DAEL Group makes use of the CO₂ Performance Ladder which is an instrument which originates from a rail management organisation named ProRail. This instrument can be used to make environmental performance understandable and measurable.

The DAEL Group is currently certified at level 5 in accordance with the CO2 Performance Ladder.

CO₂Performance ladder

DAEL aims to reduce the impact of business activities on the environment. We aim to reduce CO₂ emissions over the coming years. We have adjusted our objective to: A CO₂ emission reduction of 3% per unit of revenue in 2021 when compared to 2018. We are proud to say that we have successfully completed the CO2 Performance Ladder certification and reached the highest maturity level [5].

In order to effectively reduce CO₂ emissions, we calculate our CO₂ footprint on an annual basis. With the help of this measurement, we determine our annual objectives. Measures that we take into account include the choice of materials and techniques that are less damaging to the environment, reducing fuel consumption and placing solar panels and arranging a new climate system. We also stimulate environmental awareness among our employees.
