Iv Environmental Policy and Environmental Objectives Sustainable Design Principles: from ambition to impact When it comes to environmental responsibility and sustainability, Iv aims to make a real difference through its projects. With 75 years of knowledge and experience, we have the expertise to deliver meaningful impact. That’s why we strive to actively identify and develop environmental opportunities in at least 50% of our projects. Our ambition goes beyond CO₂ reduction – we focus on broader environmental gains and longterm sustainable value in every phase of the project. To achieve the best results, it is preferable for the client to be involved in the project-specific considerations regarding these sustainable design principles prior to the assignment. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) (available only in Dutch) provides a structured overview of both risks and opportunities related to environmental and sustainability factors. This approach makes optimal use of the design freedom available at the start of a project, reduces implementation costs, and incorporates sustainable design principles such as: • Circularity • Emission reduction • Waste minimisation • Nature-inclusive design principles • Balanced water management and reuse • Removal of toxic substances • Multifunctional space utilisation • And the development of complex solutions for energy transition … the greatest chance of success! Upon completing projects in Dynamics, it is recorded whether a (more) sustainable solution was successfully implemented in the project. Additionally, through the Survey, we evaluate how sustainable influence has been exercised. This makes our objective measurable. Each year, the results are reviewed and presented in Iv’s Environmental Annual Report. Read the Environmental Management Action Plan (available only in Dutch) for the measures adopted to achieve the project objectives. Or ask the sustainability coordinator of your division for additional information on how to fulfil this objective. Our reduction objectives - Scope 1 & Scope 2 Our Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP 2021-2025) (available only in Dutch) sets out the goal of reducing the CO₂ footprint by 10% per FTE in 2025, compared to 2019. To give some emphasis: this corresponds to a CO₂ reduction of 0.44 tonnes/FTE per year. This 10% reduction per FTE is divided between Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. What does this mean? • Scope 1 emissions are the CO₂ emissions from the installations or vehicles owned or controlled by Iv. This includes CO₂ emissions produced from heating buildings and also emissions from the vehicle fleet.
