FCC Construcción (NL) is a pioneer in sustainability.  Its commitment to the environment is demonstrated by the fact that it has achieved level 5 CO₂ Performance Ladder, which allows it to emit as little CO₂ as possible in its activities and in the execution of the A9 BAHO project. This is the highest possible level of the CO₂ Performance Ladder. By aiming for level 5 of the performance ladder, FCC Construcción (NL) does not only consider the project's own emissions, but also the CO₂ emissions caused by the entire value chain as well as the sector.

FCC Construcción (NL) will soon be audited by an independent body to verify whether the VeenIX A9 BAHO project complies with all the derived requirements to renew the level 5. FCC Construcción (NL) has shown a strong commitment to comply with the requirements of level 5 of the CO₂ Performance Ladder manual, version 3.1 for the year 2023. Therefore, all plans and reports related to CO₂ Performance Ladder level 5 of FCC Construcción (NL) will be published soon. These plans and reports provide information on our energy and CO₂ policy. For example, they explain energy flows as well as targets and measures to reduce CO₂ emissions. In addition, plans and reports are formulated to communicate and publish the CO₂ policy internally and externally.

An independent audit will be carried out annually to verify our targets as well as CO₂ emission reductions and continuous improvements in the processes and activities of FCC Construcción (NL). 

FCC Construcción (NL) commits to pursue a reduction of approximately 3,750 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year compared to the baseline calculation offered during the tender phase. The expected reduction comprises 30,000 tonnes of CO₂ over the life of the project (2020 to 2028). This reduction will be achieved from 2023 onwards by using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels in the offices and different parts of the project, adopting energy efficiency measures and addressing CO₂ emissions related to the four materials with the highest impact on the design: steel, concrete, soil and asphalt.
