Climate Neutral Certification Program

With the Paris Agreement there is a world-wide commitment to try and limit the global warming to a maximum of 2°C. This ambitious goal can only be achieved with rigorous changes to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve this goal, many establishments and organisations estimate their carbon footprint and accordingly make a road map to become climate neutral.

With our climate policy, Louwman Group division Care (henceforward Louwman Care), wants to contribute to the solution rather than the cause, and try and limit the global warming in line with the Paris Agreement. This means that Louwman Care will reduce their carbon footprint by at least 49% by 2030, and have “net zero” business operations by 2050.

In 2022, Louwman Care’s climate policy has been integrated into the overall Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program from the Louwman Group. This integration and the addition of RSR Revalidatiecentrum to the Louwman Care climate program, allows us to express our core value “Together we are Louwman” even more. Furthermore, Louwman Group tries to generate more knowledge on sustainability topics in general.

In line with the active contribution to the climate and society, the Paris Agreement and the Climate Neutral Group standard (2030: 49% reduction, 2050: 100% reduction) we can use the following claim in our most important operations:

In order to achieve the 2030 target we propose the following 5 main reduction measures:

  1. Stimulation of ZERO emission mobility
  2. Reduction of business commuting (by car)
  3. 100% insight and at least 49% reduction on energy consumption
  4. (Continuing to) Explore and generate our own renewable energy sources
  5. More sustainable real estate (energy label C to B)

Cleaner air

With our focus on clean air, we aim to further reduce our energy consumption and cut our CO₂ emissions by 50% by 2030, with the goal of reaching near-zero by 2050. We are shrinking our ecological footprint by leveraging smart technology that makes maintenance and repairs more efficient, thereby avoiding unnecessary trips.
