Ces dernières années, la Belgique a testé l’Échelle de Performance CO2 dans le cadre de contrats de travaux publics. La phase pilote étant terminée, l’Échelle va maintenant être mise en œuvre de manière structurelle.
Entre 2019 et 2023, l’Échelle de Performance CO2 a été testée au sein de marchés de travaux publics en Belgique. Le projet pilote visait à donner aux entreprises disposant d’un certificat Échelle de Performance CO2, ou à celles qui s’efforcent d’en obtenir un, un avantage dans ces marchés publics, étant donné que l’Échelle est mise en œuvre aux Pays-Bas.
En quatre ans, 24 marchés publics pilotes ont été lancés, principalement dans le domaine des infrastructures et de la construction. L’évaluation a montré que les pouvoirs adjudicateurs et les entreprises certifiées sont favorables à l’outil et à son potentiel de réduction de l’impact sur le climat. La phase pilote étant terminée, l’Échelle de Performance CO2 est structurellement mise en œuvre en Belgique.
“L’Échelle de Performance CO2 est un système simple à mettre en place. Cela présente deux avantages. Premièrement, l’investissement initial est facile à récupérer. Deuxièmement, vous pouvez consacrer plus de temps à la réalisation de l’objectif visé par le certificat (à savoir la réduction des émissions de carbone) qu’à l’administration de l’obtention du certificat.”
– Jan Van Steirteghem, Chief operating officer (COO) de l’entreprise de construction BESIX
Notre partenaire belge
l’Échelle de Performance CO2 en Belgique est administrée par BENOR en collaboration avec la Fondation pour les Achats et les Entreprises Respectueux du Climat (en néerlandais : SKAO).

One of the largest Dutch infrastructure projects in recent years, with a financial volume of ± €845.000.000, is the extension of the A9 motorway between Badhoevedorp and Holendrecht. Rijkswaterstaat is responsible for this project and used the CO2 Performance Ladder in their tender. The project was awarded to the construction consortium VeenIX, consisting of FCC Construcción and Macquarie Capital. We spoke about the project with Raúl Hortal Alonso, project director at FCC. The Spanish company is among the 15 largest construction companies in Europe. During the conversation, we discussed the role of the CO2 Performance Ladder in the project and the CO2 reduction measures taken.
The project
The A9 between the Badhoevedorp and Holendrecht junctions is one of the busiest connections in the Netherlands. A lot needs to be done to improve the situation here. Hortal Alonso: ‘The motorway will be widened to four lanes in each direction and a dual carriageway will be built that can be opened depending on traffic density. Near Amstelveen, the A9 will be deepened and there will be three canopies with green spaces so that residents can enjoy a park. In total, this involves some 10.5 kilometres that we are taking care of.’
The CO2 Performance Ladder was included in the tender for this project by Rijkswaterstaat. Hortal Alonso is pleased that FCC achieved the highest level of certification (level 5) and was awarded the contract: ‘Working with the CO2 Performance Ladder is both a challenge for us and an opportunity. We learn to deal with new standards and what knowledge and skills are required to implement such an instrument within a Dutch project. Challenging ourselves this way in terms of sustainability is part of our DNA.’
Green electricity and electrical equipment
Ahead of the A9 project, FCC set ambitious targets in terms of reducing CO2 emissions. Hortal Alonso: ‘This involves a reduction of 300 tonnes of CO2 for scope 1. Then another 300 tonnes for scope 2 and 30,000 tonnes for scope 3. We are doing everything we can to achieve that target.’
To meet these targets, FCC is implementing several measures. First of all, the construction company is switching to green energy. Buying only green electricity drastically reduces Scope 2 emissions caused by electrical energy consumption. Hortal Alonso added: ‘In addition, we have reduced the use of diesel fuel as much as possible to carry out the project, among other things, by using electric equipment.’

Reusing materials and adapting driving behaviour
Regarding the use of materials within the project, FCC has entered into an agreement with Rijkswaterstaat. Based on this agreement, the old beam structures deployed in the project will not be demolished after use. Instead, the beams will be reused in another project of Rijkswaterstaat. Hortal Alonso welcomes this development: ‘This kind of measure keeps the recycling cycle going, applying fundamental principles of the circular economy.’
In addition, some of the current asphalt will be reused in the production of new asphalt for the project. The reuse percentage is quite high, at more than 50%. Moreover, the guard rails will be refurbished. Hortal Alonso: ‘We have to install quite a few kilometres of guard rails in this project. In doing so, we are trying to reuse as much of the existing guard rails as possible.’
Another measure making a lot of impact is changing drivers’ driving behaviour. On many projects, a large part of the CO2 emissions consists of transporting materials for construction. For this project, FCC developed a programme for the company’s employees to create awareness around driving behaviour. Based on this, the drivers learnt a more efficient way of driving, allowing them to minimise CO2 emissions as a group.
The importance of transparency and monitoring
At least as important as taking all these sustainable measures, is being transparent about the actions being implemented. Hortal Alonso: ‘We are very transparent around sustainability. We communicate not only internally, but also externally about our progress in the project in terms of CO2 reduction. On our site, information and reports are shared, and they are accessible to everyone.’ But transparency requires enough and reliable information, and processes must be monitored to obtain the information FCC wants to communicate. That is why, besides transparency, monitoring the project is important for the company. On the basis of a follow-up plan, the progression achieved by the measures is continuously monitored.
Hortal Alonso is satisfied when he reviews what the above measures have achieved: ‘All these measures together have made a huge difference and ensured that we have reached the highest level on the Ladder.’
The CO2 Performance Ladder brings things into focus
Having worked with the CO2 Performance Ladder for over four years within the A9 Badhoevedorp-Holendrecht project, Hortal Alonso has formed a good understanding of the sustainability tool. ‘It challenges us and ensures that we have to be innovative all the time. The Ladder forces us to explore different ways of reducing CO2. These are necessary to meet our targets. This is not always easy, but it pays off handsomely. Reusing beams is a good example. Without the Ladder, we would not have come up with this.’

The CO2 Performance Ladder system makes it clear which actions are needed to make a positive impact. Besides reusing beams, changing the composition of asphalt is also a great example of something FCC didn’t do to the same extent before, Hortal Alonso explains. ‘Materials often have a second life. They may not be suitable for all parts of another project, but there is always overlap. It’s good to make the best use of that.’
Creating awareness among employees and suppliers
In an organisation, it is important that everyone is on the same page. Especially when it comes to a topic like sustainability. After all, making progress does not happen automatically; it requires dedication and energy. Hortal Alonso agrees and says that this was the biggest challenge in achieving level 5 on the CO2 Performance Ladder. He says the Ladder ultimately helped create support within FCC and in the organisation’s supply chain. ‘Construction companies have an obligation, a responsibility. The policy they pursue has to have a certain priority and focus. The Ladder helps us do that. Namely, it makes it easier to explain to our employees and suppliers what we are doing and why we are making certain choices. As a result, the urgency of the measures we take is felt and understood. If that had not been there, many innovative measures would have been omitted. After all, you are asking something new from the chain, from your suppliers. They do have to accept that change. Without them, we cannot do what we do. Sustainability is, necessarily, a task for everyone and all stakeholders have an unavoidable role to play.’

In addition, Hortal Alonso indicates that once a team believes in the targets, it is actually not that difficult to meet them. Setting specific targets is a challenge, though, and that also played a role in achieving level 5 on the Ladder. ‘You can promise all kinds of things, but you also have to deliver. So the challenge is to set ambitious yet realistic targets. In doing so, it is important to know the possibilities and limitations of the chain. Suppliers cannot always deliver the sustainable materials you have in mind. It is good to take that into account in your plan of action.’

(The article below is about the pilot phase in Belgium. This phase has now been successfully completed and the CO2 Performance Ladder is being implemented structurally in the country)
The CO2 Performance Ladder was launched in 2019 in Belgium in the framework of several public works contracts. The intention of this pilot phase is to include the CO2 Performance Ladder in several public tenders in the three Belgian regions as pilot projects, to validate the scheme on the Belgian territory.
For Wallonia, since 2019, an action plan related to sustainable public procurement has been developed. Indeed, Wallonia wishes to encourage each public actor to adopt, at its level, a purchasing policy that will bring added value to society. Particularly by contributing to the fight against climate change. Making public purchasing more sustainable therefore also means integrating environmental clauses into the specifications. To do this, tools are needed, and the CO2 Performance Ladder is one of these tools.
Sylvie Loutz, project manager for sustainable construction at the Sustainable Development Directorate of the SPW (Walloon Public Service) and Cécile Batungwanayo, advisor at the Walloon Air and Climate Agency (AwAC) explain the challenges of the CO2 Performance Ladder and talk about the achievements in Wallonia.
The first steps in Wallonia
Sylvie explains that the first steps were taken in 2017 and the three regions (Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia) in 2019 agreed on the transposition of the Dutch CO2 Performance Ladder to Belgium.
The Ladder was adopted by three ministries, here in Wallonia: the Ministry for Public Works, the Ministry for Climate and the Ministry for Sustainable Development. The CO2 Performance Ladder, used as a clause in public contracts, has the advantage of encouraging companies to reduce their CO2 emissions. Today, this system is supported by the government via the Walloon Recovery Plan, which wants to continue its work on green public procurement and reducing CO2 emissions for Wallonia.
The CO2 Performance Ladder, developed in the Netherlands more than 10 years ago, is a tool that can be used as an environmental clause in public procurement. “This tool, which has already proved its value in the Netherlands, allowed us to easily enter the pilot phase for Belgium,” adds Cécile.
“The CO2 Performance Ladder enables us to stimulate the construction sector in a structural way”
When certification takes place at the company level, certification will reduce the CO2 impact. The advantage of having a company certification is that all offices, other sites and construction sites carried out by the company will lead to a reduction of the CO2 impact. However, certification can also be carried out on a project-by-project basis and this is a good first step. As in the Netherlands, certification of the company or on project level is voluntary.
Indirectly, the CO2 Performance Ladder is also a way to fight against social dumping, as all personnel involved on the construction sites (company personnel or personnel of the subcontractor(s)) are registered with regard to their CO2 footprint.
Sustainable procurement
Within SPW, the Sustainable Development Directorate emphasises sustainable procurement as a key lever for sustainable development, by including various aspects in public procurement clauses. For example, social clauses that promote the integration of people who dropped out of the labour market or providing training. Public authorities can use pre-established standard social clauses for this purpose in tenders. For certain types of public procurement, it is mandatory to add these kinds of social clauses.
In addition, from an ethical point of view, an anti-dumping clause for example, can be included in the tender specifications. As part of sustainable procurement, the aim is also to further develop the environmental aspect. “Like the social clause, we also want to add an environmental clause. In this context, the CO2 Performance Ladder is a good example of an environmental clause we could use. Currently, there are not many environmental clauses that can be added in tenders, it remains a voluntary process,” Sylvie tells us.
Projects applying the CO2 Performance Ladder in Wallonia
11 pilot projects integrating the CO2 Performance Ladder in its clauses have been identified for Wallonia. Some pilot projects have already been implemented and others are in progress or have yet to be launched. Cécile and Sylvie give us some examples.
6 projects are supported by SPW Mobility infrastructure and are located in the Liège, Namur, Lower Sambre and Hainaut regions. “The most advanced of these projects is the Bressoux multimodal zone project, which is located near Liège. The company was committed to and has just obtained its level 3 certificate on the CO2 Performance Ladder for the completion of this site in less than a year.”
Other projects were carried out by intermunicipal companies. The first project on the CO2 Performance Ladder in Wallonia was Orientis 3, a mixed economic activity park in Ghislenghien. This project is led by the Territorial Development Agency IDETA. The projects are of different types: road works, quay development works, construction of a building. These are all types of work where the Ladder is used in Wallonia!
Tips for future projects
“The Ladder is an easy system to set up and understand. There are few questions or constraints at the level of public purchasers. Companies generally commit to level 3 of the CO2 Performance Ladder for pilot projects. The number of bids has not changed and the pilot projects already launched also show that the Ladder does not influence the prices of public procurement. So prices vary little between companies committed to the CO2 Performance Ladder and those not. We are still waiting for the final results of the pilot phase in Belgium, but so far the results are already encouraging!”
This article is about the pilot phase in Belgium. This phase has now been successfully completed and the CO2 Performance Ladder is being implemented structurally in the country. Want to read more about the results of the pilot phase? You can do so here.
