CO2 reduction in 2025

In 2025, we reduced our carbon emissions by 4.3%. Our emissions relative to our revenue decreased by 1.5%. This puts us on track to achieve our goals: reducing our gross emissions by 50% in 2030 compared to 2021 and being climate-neutral by 2050, in line with the goals set in the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, we are committed to further increase our insights into our scope 3 emissions to identify and implement emission reduction measures in our material value chains. Additionally, we are taking steps to gain more insight into our other controllable emissions.

We see the effect of our measures to reduce the amount of emissions, especially regarding our buildings, car fleet and to a lesser extent within our equipment fleet. Furthermore, we experience that knowledge and awareness around sustainability in general and emissions specific are increasingly present among our colleagues.

A few highlights:

• 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.

Catenary pillars made of circular concrete

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.

Circular catenary wire

We have prepared a value chain analysis for circular overhead lines to promote the application of more sustainable overhead lines and thus substantially reduce CO₂ emissions throughout the chain.

In October 2025, we celebrated the world-first with partners in the supply chain.

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the reductions! Both chain partners and colleagues play an important role in this. Together towards further reduction!
