Bruynzeel accelerates its ambition to reach Net Zero by 2035
Bruynzeel is proud to announce its accelerated Net Zero Journey. The new ambition is to reach 'Net Zero' emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3, GHG protocol ) by latest 2035, 15 years ahead of the Paris climate agreement and 10 years earlier than its previous commitment (Net Zero by 2045) in 2021. This bold move signifies the dedication to continue to lead the change towards a sustainable future.
Bruynzeel systems already have the lowest CO2 footprint in the industry, as the company has been climate-neutral in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) since 2021, audited and assured by Deloitte. Bruynzeel has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi ) and attained a silver rating with Ecovadis since 2022, ranking amongst the top 20% of sustainable companies.
A critical element to achieve our 'Net Zero' ambition is to further drive the material transition. As steel and steel related products account for nearly 90% of its scope 3 impact, the focus on increasing the adoption speed of Bruynzeel GreenSteel is key. This steel reduces its environmental impact by over 91%. To offer this, Bruynzeel is currently collaborating, amongst others, with Arcelor Mittal and their accredited XCarb certificates.
In the coming years we have the ambition to also introduce the next big milestone with Bruynzeel GreenSteel 2.0, steel production using new technology - e.g. hydrogen based - moving towards carbon neutral steel. Bruynzeel's ambition is to significantly increase its production mix with GreenSteel towards 100% by 2030.
Bruynzeel is currently the only player in our industry to use a special production process with a high proportion of non-galvanised and unoiled materials (> 95% and >80% respectively). This results in large-scale savings in the use of energy, CO2, water, and chemicals in the production process.
Alexander Collot d'Escury, CEO of Bruynzeel Storage Systems, said:
According to the UN buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of annual CO2 emissions worldwide. When more space is needed organizations frequently overlook the possibility of utilising their existing floor space smarter. By using mobile storage solutions, optimisations of more than 50% can be reached. Making better use of existing space can bring huge savings. This also avoids adding unnecessary additional utility costs for heating, cooling, lighting and cleaning additional areas. Besides savings on investments, lead times for planning and building permits, building materials and labour capacity challenges, the CO2 impact that can be reduced in this way over 20 years is significant: up to 90%! By applying Bruynzeel GreenSteel this could further increase to 99%.
