Annual contribution rates for the CO2 Performance Ladder reduced again

The board of The Foundation for Climate Friendly Procurement and Business (SKAO) has reduced the annual contribution for CO2 Performance Ladder certified organisations. The rates for 2022 have been reduced by about 5% compared to 2021. The new rates will come into effect on 1 March 2022. Organisations that have already met their financial obligations for the year 2022 will receive a refund of the excess amount paid.

Reduction due to increase in certificate holders

The decrease in the contribution is due to the growth in the number of certified organisations. The number of participants in the CO2 Performance Ladder has increased substantially since the foundation was established. More than 1200 certificates have now been issued.

Annual Billing

On April 14, 2022, SKAO will send the invoices for the annual contribution to the CO2 Performance Ladder. If you want to add a purchase number or if existing data is not correct, we request that you adjust this data. You can log in via mijn.skao.nl.
