BESIX Europe and entities in Belgium successfully retains Level 5 certification in annual CO2 Performance Ladder audit

BESIX, including Franki Foundations Belgium, BESIX Infra, and BESIX Unitec, proudly announces the successful completion of the annual external CO2 Performance Ladder audit. The audit, which was conducted over a period of five days, concluded positively last week at the Zeebrugge construction dry-dock (Oosterweel project).

The CO2 Performance Ladder is a certification system that encourages companies to actively reduce their carbon footprint. This system offers a rigorous evaluation of a company's CO2 management system across five different levels, with Level 5 representing the pinnacle of CO2 awareness and active reduction strategies both within the supply chain and sector.

The comprehensive audit involved a meticulous review of the CO2 management systems at BESIX and its associated companies, as scrutinised by external auditor KIWA. In addition to the Zeebrugge construction dry-dock, the audit extended to the Tour Triangle project in Paris.

The audit concluded with no identified shortcomings and confirmed that BESIX, Franki Foundations Belgium, BESIX Infra, and BESIX Unitec will retain the prestigious Level 5 certification on the CO2 Performance Ladder, awarded in 2022.

Achieving and maintaining Level 5 certification underscores the group's commitment to environmental stewardship and validates its ongoing efforts towards sustainable operations. BESIX Group remains dedicated to upholding these high standards and will continue to actively contribute to a sustainable future.
