Carbon footprint

As entrepreneurs, we take responsibility through our operational activities and promote “carbon awareness”. In the last 5 years, the CO₂ emission of our operational activities has been calculated (as described in www.CO2emissiefactoren.nl). The CO₂-emission of Aqua Vision BV in 2019 was equal to 2,3 tons/fte. The distribution is shown in the figure below.

Due to our CSR policy, the CO₂ emission has been largely reduced (more than 30% over the past 2 years!) compared to our reference year 2015. This is depicted in the Table below. A good example how our sustainable design principles contributes to this is our innovative design of field measurements. In a substantial part of our projects, we have replaced the fossil fuel consuming vessels by radiographic electrical Q boats. Our aim is to reduce our environmental impact even more in the coming years.
