‘Preserve the beauty of nature for future generations; our ESG policy is our guide to sustainability.’

Our steps towards a more sustainable future

In 2025, Verwater has made significant progress in the area of sustainability. We have further refined our internal guidelines and working methods, with the aim of operating fairly, transparently and responsibly.

A key milestone was achieving the EcoVadis Silver Medal, despite their stricter assessment criteria. This recognition underlines our commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Due to changes in European legislation, Verwater is no longer obliged to report in accordance with the ESRS guidelines. However, based on these guidelines, we have produced our own sustainability report for 2025, in which we outline our contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, to a socially responsible and safe working environment, and to a sustainable management system.

CO₂ reduction and concrete results

In 2025, our emissions (Scope 1 and 2) totalled 3,703 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, a reduction of almost 20% compared with 2024 (4,603 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents). This reduction is due, amongst other things, to the increasing use of green electricity from solar and wind power in our offices and workshops, the electrification of our company vehicles, and more efficient fuel consumption for mobile machinery. With this reduction, we have already achieved our 2030 target of a 25 per cent reduction compared with 2019.

But we’re not stopping there; we’re taking sustainability even further: the new workshop and offices in Gieten, which we’ll start using from 2026, will be heated and cooled using geothermal energy; our vehicle fleet will be further electrified; and we’ll be using more and more green electricity instead of grey electricity.

Looking to the future

Our ambitions extend beyond CO₂ reduction. We want to integrate sustainability even more firmly into our business operations and into the collaboration with our clients and suppliers. In this way, together with our partners, we are building a more sustainable, transparent and future-proof supply chain.
