FincoEnergies becomes the first to achieve Level 3 certification under the new CO₂ Performance Ladder handbook.

Rotterdam, 15 September 2025 – FincoEnergies is the first organisation in the Netherlands to be certified at Level 3 under the new CO₂ Performance Ladder handbook. This recognition confirms that the energy company maps its CO₂ emissions in full, delivers demonstrable reductions and undergoes independent verification. The certification underscores FincoEnergies’ ambition to reduce CO₂ emissions and make its progress transparent.

“This is an important milestone. We are showing that ambition and action go hand in hand."

“This is an important milestone. We are showing that ambition and action go hand in hand. We measure our emissions, steer on reduction and have those results verified. In this way, we accelerate the shift to sustainable energy and make our progress visible,” says Ruben Koster, Sustainability Manager at FincoEnergies.

What is the CO₂ Performance Ladder

In the Netherlands, the CO₂ Performance Ladder has grown into a powerful approach to structurally reducing emissions. The Ladder helps organisations manage with clear targets, maintain momentum internally, and be transparent externally about performance. For public bodies and companies that work with FincoEnergies, the certification provides independent assurance that reduction is not a promise but a proven practice.
