We also embed our CSR behaviours in our work with clients. For example, in the Netherlands we received the CO2-certificate from ProRail, the Dutch rail network infrastructure manager. The attainment of level 4 signals a next step on the CO2 measurement scale of ProRail. In line with this level we supply detailed information in amongst others CO2-emissions of our commuter traffic, the progress on the agreed reduction goals, our dialogues with external parties and our own sustainable initiatives.

We are also working with many clients on carbon neutrality programmes and in 2009 we brought our knowledge to bear very noticeably in Denmark. Here, Grontmij launched the Climate Management Handbook, one of Denmark’s first and most exhaustive publications on the climate change challenges facing both the public and the private sector with contributions from a large number of business leaders, scientists and NGO representatives. In 2010 we published our second book on climate adaptation and mitigation ‘Good Climate Management – the Leader’s Guide to Managing the Climate Effort’. This work will continue as we promote and extend knowledge about climate management in Denmark.
