Strukton registers its CO2 emissions according to the international standard in three categories:

Direct emissions, from cars and materiel, for example.

| Scope 2 |
Indirect emissions resulting from energy use - the emissions from energy production by the energy supplier, for example.
|
| Scope 3 |
Indirect emissions not originating from energy production, such as business kilometres driven in a private car or the emissions of suppliers and subcontractors. |

Sources of increase
One of the sources of the increase is Strukton Civiel’s trend of managing more international projects – such as the tunnel in Ireland and the tunnel in South Korea. For these projects, travel by plane is unavoidable. Strukton also has more projects in the far corners of The Netherlands, for instance the ‘Groene Loper’ (‘Green carpet’) project in Maastricht and the PPP project Housing Education Executive Agency and Regional Tax Office in Groningen. These result in more kilometres driven.
