In the first half of 2024, we significantly reduced our CO2 emissions. Our total gross emissions were reduced by 6.5%. Compared to our operating income, the reduction was as much as 21.2% per million euros. A great result, but no reason to sit still. After all, by 2030 we want to have reduced our gross own emissions related to operating income by 50% compared to 2021. So we will continue with our measures.
Among other things, we are committed to sustainable mobility. As of January of this year, we have a new leasing policy in the Netherlands with exclusively electric cars. In addition, from January 2024, Strukton Rail Nederland will only purchase electric company buses. We also encourage public transport and cycling and online meetings.
We are using more and more electrical machines and equipment, on the one hand by retrofitting our own machines and equipment and on the other hand by hiring electrical machines and equipment. In dialogue with clients, suppliers and other industry peers, we work on feasible solutions for electrical energy supply on the construction site and the use of electrical machines.
We are also taking various measures to reduce scope 3 emissions. For example, we are working on catenary foundations and portals made of circular concrete, we reuse elements (switches, sleepers, pillars, transitions) and materials (circular concrete for platforms) and we are part of the sector-wide ‘Groene Liggers’ (Green Beams) initiative, which focuses on increasing the reuse ratio of beams.
