SDG
Batenburg Techniek executes many projects and develops new methods for working on the environment and our society. We aim to make this clearer by linking it to the SDG categories that are used internationally.
The six selected categories cover a large proportion of our projects. In 2022, 63% of our revenue was related to the following six SDGs:
Energy saving
Batenburg Techniek actively responds to developments in the fields of environment, energy conservation, renewable energy and waste. The company takes into account the impact on the environment. In this context, the business premises are made as sustainable as possible and the CO2emissions of the fleet are reduced thanks to electric and fuel-efficient vehicles.
Environmental benefits
Batenburg Techniek uses wind energy from the Slufterdam wind farm. As a result, the use of electricity does not cause any CO2emissions. The CO2that is still released in our business processes is compensated via shareholder VP Capital in a WeForest project in Zambia. As part of this project, some 80,000 trees are planted every year and investments are made in setting up sustainable livelihoods in forest restoration.
However, most environmental gains are achieved with and among clients. For this purpose, we have assigned a classification to the types of projects that we are allowed to perform for our clients. Read on below to find out how we do this.
