The CO2 Performance Ladder is a Dutch certification tool that helps organizations reduce their CO2 emissions and integrate sustainability into their operations. It is managed by the Foundation for Climate-Friendly Procurement and Business (SKAO).
What’s new in version 4.0 (2024):
The ladder consists of five levels, with level 3 often required for public tenders and level 5 setting the most ambitious goals.

The concept of 'avoided CO2 emissions' is gaining traction. Companies are highlighting it in sustainability reports, and it appears to be a key focus of the CO2 Performance Ladder 4.0. Leo Smit writes about the importance of quantifying avoided CO2 emissions and the opportunities it provides to take a more flexible approach to CO2 reduction within the business chain.
As the CO2 Performance Ladder is becoming more international, so is our client base. Earlier this year, JONS Civil Engineering became the first Irish company with a CO2 Performance Ladder certificated project. We are proud to have supported this project!
Manual 4.0 of the CO2-Performance Ladder is coming next year. SKAO published that they expect the new manual to be released around springtime, next year. Manual 4.0 will be even more directed at results, compared to the current manual 3.1. The most important subjects in the 4.0 version are ambition, scope 3 and monitoring.
