CO2 policy
CO2 policy
Responsible entrepreneurship is in our DNA—especially in these times when socially conscious actions are more important than ever. Every day, we carry out the necessary work to keep our railway network (train, tram, metro) in top condition. In light of the current social climate, we at Taveirne recognize that we must take this responsibility even more broadly.

As a contractor, we see the CO2 performance ladder as a sustainability tool for inventorying and reducing CO2 emissions.
To reinforce this policy choice, Taveirne aims to achieve the CO2 Awareness Certificate Level 3 by 2025.
The foundation of the CO2 performance ladder consists of periodic measurements, inventories, and evaluations of the CO2 produced by Taveirne. Taveirne accomplishes this by compiling a CO2 emission inventory. This allows us, as a company, to gain insight into our energy flows as well as the associated CO2 emissions.
The ultimate goal of the CO2 performance ladder is to reduce CO2 emissions by implementing reduction measures. Each measure is evaluated for its short-term feasibility and long-term effectiveness. The measures are incorporated into the action plan.

Reducing CO2 emissions can be seen as a large puzzle, with Taveirne placing its pieces. The other pieces needed to complete the puzzle further are what Taveirne aims to contribute by actively participating in various sector and chain initiatives.
