We are reducing our organisation's impact on the environment so that future generations can enjoy a healthy planet.

Our emissions policy

The journey to a sustainable future cannot be made without tackling greenhouse gas emissions as an industry and as individual companies. We believe every effort—no matter how small—will make a difference. At VRR, we look critically at how we operate and are honest about our measurements and reporting.

Our main strategic goal is to reach net zero operational CO2 emissions by 2030 and to reduce Scope 3 emissions. It’s an ambitious target but not impossible. Our first step is to gather sufficient, reliable and comprehensive data. Once we understand the factors that most influence our Scope 1 and 2 emissions, we’ll make plans to mitigate them.

2025

This year, we aim to:

  • Reduce Scopes 1 and 2 emissions to 50% of 2022 levels
Based on emissions in 2024, we determine the biggest reductions opportunities for this year and act accordingly.
  • Set up a continuous emissions measurement system
Achieve accurate and efficient emissions tracking across our facilities in Rotterdam and Badhoevedorp using a dedicated tool. This will allow us to automate data gathering and calculations, carry out granular reporting, identify potential issues quickly and make informed choices.
  • Lessen the impact of employee commuting
Reduce emissions generated by employees travelling between work and home by performing new CO2e measurements and taking action based on the data produced. We will also continue to encourage participation in our bicycle lease scheme.

  • Start tackling Scope 3 emissions
Accept the challenge of reducing our upstream and downstream emissions by making small but impactful improvements within our value chain. For example, collaborating with suppliers to reduce packaging waste, lightweighting our products to reduce use-phase emissions, and developing recycling capabilities.
  • Create more sustainability initiatives through teamwork
Research how we can leverage cross-departmental teams to develop sustainable initiatives on a continuous basis and to incorporate sustainability into our daily activities.
