CO2 performance ladder

The performance ladder includes six levels, in which level 0 means no effort and level 5 is the highest achievable. Besides charting the carbon footprint, the company is also required to formulate reduction targets and setting up a communication plan and to join an initiative within the chain and displays the interpretation of the demands of the CO2 performance ladder on this page.

Ambition

The management of BMNED / GSNED has set itself the target to reduce its energy consumption or CO2 emissions. The reduction of CO2 emissions of BMNED / GSNED should lead to 10% in 2022 in comparison to 2014. Regarding the objectives and progress in the reduction, we will relate CO2 emissions to the turnover. After all, by using a relative CO2 emissions, such as tons CO2 / Euros turnover, it can be occur we will not be able to realize a reduction, while sufficient measures are taken since the company for instance is growing fast (and therefore amongst other things consumes more fuel). The energy reduction measures focus mainly on the machine and vehicle fleet, but also on housing and office paper for BMNED / GSNED. Therefore BMNED / GSNED has set itself several objectives. As described in the introduction of the emission inventory report, there are significant differences in 2014 compared to the year 2013. Therefore, the year 2014 will be used as the reference year as well as a guide. All staff members will attend a meeting concerning this subject.
