What is CO2 Performance Ladder?

The CO2 Performance Ladder has its origins in ProRail. This company has developed the CO2 Performance Ladder and has therefore been used in tenders in the railway sector since 2009. The effectiveness of this CO@ performance ladder did not go unnoticed and more organizations began to show interest in employability. In addition to the railway sector, others also appeared sectors to benefit from using this tool.

Explanation of the ladder in a nutshell

The CO2- Performance ladder is a CO2-management system that consists of 5 levels. Up to and including level 3, an organization will work on its own organization's emissions (and all projects). From levels 4 and 5, work is also being done on the CO2-emissions in the chain and sector. A certified organization meets the requirements of the CO at a certain level (and all underlying levels)2-Performance ladder. These requirements stem from four perspectives:

A- Insight: Determining energy flows and CO2-footprint

B- Reduction: developing ambitious goals for CO2-reduction

C- Transparency: Structural communication about the CO2-policy

D- Participation: Participation in initiatives in the sector in the field of CO2-reduction

Each certified organization is audited annually by an independent and accredited Certification Body (CI). As a result, a certified organization has guaranteed a working DCO2-management system for the organization and projects, which is tested annually for ambitions, reduction and continuous improvement.

Commitment is rewarded

Certified companies receive a discount on the entry price of tenders. Companies on the Ladder are rewarded with a concrete award advantage in the tender process. The higher the step, the higher the discount. The contracting authority or client determines the award advantage per level of the Ladder.

Managing and monitoring the CO2 Performance Ladder

Management System

Why should you work with an online digital Management System?

Many organizations have already switched from a “handbook in the closet” to an environment such as SharePoint or a Document Management System to also be able to view their documentation remotely.

But then these questions and sources of stress linger:

  • How do I get a grip on my waste in my processes?
  • How do I check my compressed air installation (s)?
  • How can I check and monitor tire pressure quickly and efficiently?
  • What outstanding measures still need to be followed up?
  • How do I get a quick analysis of my subcontractors and their performance?
  • How do I really understand which processes need to be tackled structurally differently?
  • How do I inform and convince my colleagues of the usefulness of certain processes?
