The CO₂ Performance Ladder is a tool developed in the Netherlands (originally by ProRail) to provide insight into companies’ efforts to reduce CO₂, and is now also used in several other European countries. The CO₂ management system shows what companies are doing to reduce their CO₂ emissions. To this end, a system with five levels, known as the ladder, has been developed. The lowest rung on the ladder is 1, the highest is 5.
Van der Ende Group has now reached the third step. This means: ‘The company has an official CO₂ emissions inventory that has been drawn up in accordance with the ISO (or GHG) standard and verified by an independent institution. The company has quantitative targets for its own (scope 1 and 2) emissions. It communicates structurally, both internally and externally, about its energy policy and participates passively in one sector and chain initiative in the field of CO₂ reduction.’
\n\nWe have set ambitious targets, such as purchasing more renewable energy. Much has already been achieved to reach level 3, with LED lighting in halls and solar panels at branches. Drivers’ driving styles are also under closer scrutiny.
