The greenhouse gas CO2 is one of the main causes of climate change. In order to keep the planet liveable for future generations, carbon dioxide emissions must therefore be drastically reduced in the coming decades. Since 2011, Eurailscout has taken various measures to reduce CO2 emissions.

CO2 reduction targets
We have set ourselves strict targets for the coming years when it comes to CO2 reduction.
• In 2030 we want to achieve a CO2 reduction of at least 55% for business mobility compared to 2010.
• Reducing own CO2 emissions by 4% per year (compared to 2009) related to operating income.
• Our offices are without harmful emissions with as little residual waste and plastic as possible.
• We reuse materials and produce with sustainable and circular materials.
• In all our projects we contribute to improving vital soil and biodiversity.
• In 2050 we want to operate climate-neutral.
