By getting to grips with other influenceable emissions (OIE), you can impact emission reduction beyond your organisation and even your value chain as well. In this blog we explain why OIE are part of the new version of the CO₂ Performance Ladder, the categories of OIE, when you must…
The CO₂ Performance Ladder gives insight into your organisation’s emissions and offers tools for structural improvement. By working to certify your government organisation on the Ladder, you also set a good example to residents and businesses when it comes to emissions reduction. In this blog we explain which benefits the CO₂ Performance Ladder offers for governments organisations…
By using the CO₂ Performance Ladder as a Best Price-Quality Ratio (BPQR) award criterion in a tender, you encourage CO₂ reduction during the delivery of the project. From January 2027 it will be mandatory to use version 4.0 of the CO₂ Performance Ladder in procurement. In this blog you can read how…
A value chain analysis helps you determine where the most emissions in your chain occur and where the greatest reduction opportunities lie. This analysis is an important instrument within the CO₂ Performance Ladder for giving substance to ‘cross-scope’ thinking. In this blog we explain how, both within and beyond the boundaries of your own…
Any organisation seeking certification at Step 2 or 3 of the CO₂ Performance Ladder must draw up a Climate Transition Plan (CTP). In this plan, you use concrete targets, measures and a timeline to set out how your organisation will work towards CO₂ reduction over the medium (5 to 10 years) and long term (2050). The Climate Transition…
This article outlines the Dutch implementation of the revised Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). The EED is a European directive that each EU Member State translates into national legislation and regulations. As a result, obligations, thresholds, and enforcement may differ from one country to another. In the Netherlands, the…
The M4/N4 pavement renewal in Ireland shows what happens when a procuring authority uses the CO₂ Performance Ladder consistently: measurable carbon savings, supply-chain collaboration, and material innovation. When the first Ladder project in Ireland delivered a 21% CO₂ reduction in 2024, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) decided to…
Organisations across Europe face growing pressure to demonstrate credible climate action – from regulators, clients and investors alike. CO₂ Performance Ladder 4.0 gives that ambition a clear structure and an internationally recognized way to demonstrate ambition, and results. Version 4.0 builds on more than fifteen years of experience.
Improving energy efficiency is no longer optional. For many organisations, it is a strategic priority driven by cost control, regulatory requirements and the need to reduce emissions. This is especially relevant for contractors and suppliers working with public or private clients who increasingly require structured carbon management as part…
