Collaboration, electrification, retrofitting, circular use of materials and awareness. These are examples of measures with which we are continuously committed to CO2 reduction. In our half-year report, we look back on the first half of 2025.
Our scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions decreased by 3.6% in the first half of 2025. If we compare that to our turnover, the decline was 6.4%.
Company cars – In Sweden, we have switched from diesel to HVO. This has led to a significant reduction in emissions.
Equipment – In Italy, our equipment has become more energy efficient. We also did projects in relatively flat areas. This led to a decrease in fuel consumption. We are making our equipment more energy efficient in other countries as well. Examples include the retrofit of cranes, the use of emission-free equipment at projects and additional battery-powered generators purchased in Sweden.
Lease cars – Emissions from lease cars have increased slightly compared to Q2 2024, even though we have fewer fossil-powered cars and more electric cars in the Netherlands and Sweden. This is mainly due to the acquisition of a company in Italy. We expect lease car emissions in the Netherlands to decrease by 10% each year until 2030 because of our new lease policy.
In 2023 and 2024, we initiated a value chain analysis for circular catenary pillars with the aim of producing and installing approximately 200 circular concrete catenary pillars annually in rail projects in the Netherlands. Because this product is not yet included in the client’s Standard Products Catalogue (SPC), we cannot yet apply it in regular projects. However, there are various pilots and many conversations. In March of this year, we discussed the pilot results extensively with all relevant parties during the Week of the Circular Economy. We are still committed to the joint efforts leading to the inclusion of the product in the SPC in the near future.
We have prepared a value chain analysis for circular overhead lines to promote the application of more sustainable overhead lines and thus substantially reduce COâ‚‚ emissions throughout the chain.
In the first half of 2025, circular overhead lines have not yet been used in projects. However, a project for application was prepared during this period. Significant progress has also been made in the analysis of transport options. This provides valuable new insights into the trade-off between production location, transport modality and the ultimate environmental impact.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the reductions! Both chain partners and colleagues play an important role in this. Together towards further reduction!

Our sector has significant impact on the living environment as to the use of raw materials, waste, emissions and loss of biodiversity. This brings great responsibility and creates oppcortunities to make the world more sustainable.
