Key targets
To make our mission of “transforming the future as the fastest builder by focusing on innovation to create smart, energy-efficient and low-carbon solutions” more tangible, we defined a number of concrete, shorter-term targets to follow up.
In this way, we try to be as transparent as possible in our efforts and impact and will report on these ongoing actions in the next reports.
Circular buildings
materiality: modular & circular principles, innovation, carbon emissions
| Goal | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Ambition: No demolition without urban mining of materials | 2023 |
| Bio-based materials - Conduct research where bio-based materials can be best applied, striving to commit to a target in our next report | 2023 |
| Reuse of materials - Conduct research where and how reused materials can be best applied, striving to commit to a target in our next report | 2023 |
| Every building with a BIM model has a material passport | 2024 |
CO₂
materiality: carbon emissions
| Goal | Deadline |
|---|---|
| 100% green electricity for all locations | 2023 |
| Roll-out mobile battery containers on construction sites | 2023 |
| Report on scope 1 & 2 of complete Cordeel group (reporting year 2023) | 2023 |
| Report on the three most material scope 3 emissions (reporting year 2023) | 2023 |
| Ambition: Receive certification for CO2-prestatieladder level 5 | 2024 |
| Report on scope 1-3 of complete Cordeel group (reporting year 2025) | 2025 |

Water
Materiality: water consumption
| Goal | Deadline |
|---|---|

Land-use of our developments & biodiversity
| Goal | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Started measuring the land-use of own developments: three projects started with a surface of 3,420 m² (footprint of buildings + outdoor pavings) | 2022 |
| Continue measuring our land-use and conduct research to find an approach to land-use and biodiversity protection/restoration, striving to commit to a target in our next report | 2023 |
