DDM’s Sustainability Update!

DDM Sustainability 2025

We are currently in the process of accurately calculating our CO₂ emissions for 2024. Once the final figures are available, we will transparently share them on our website under the ‘Sustainability’ section.

In the meantime, we continue to invest in innovative and environmentally friendly solutions. Recently, we have added a new demolition excavator with an advanced Stage V engine and an additional electric piece of equipment to our fleet. These investments highlight our commitment to a sustainable future and our ongoing efforts to reduce our ecological footprint.

Additionally, the recently acquired battery in De Meern plays a crucial role in achieving our sustainability goals. It is operating at full capacity to efficiently store and maximize the use of the solar energy we generate. At DDM, we are taking concrete steps toward a greener and cleaner future!

Curious about the exact figures on emissions and the energy management action plan? Visit our website under the "Sustainability" section and read the document DDM Sustainability Report 2021-2026.

Below, you will find DDM’s objectives outlined once again.

Objectives and Measures for All of DDM
Objective: Reduce CO₂ emissions from fuel consumption of the vehicle fleet by 10% (Scope 1)

  • Promote fuel-efficient driving: provide all drivers with a fuel-efficient driving toolbox.
  • Actively encourage carpooling among employees and demonstrate its implementation.
  • Purchase only tires with an A-rating for fuel efficiency according to the European tire label when acquiring new tires.
  • Provide bicycles at project sites and offices for short trips.

Objective: Reduce CO₂ emissions from fuel consumption of machinery by 10%, including the use of HVO100 on projects (Scope 1)

  • Replace machines with Stage 2 engines with Stage 4 or 5 engines by 2026 (compared to 2021).
  • Operate machinery on HVO100: Use HVO100 instead of diesel or gasoline on specific projects.
  • Develop a toolbox to optimize fuel-efficient machine operation.


Additional Measures for DDM Demontage

Objective: Reduce gas consumption at the main location in De Meern by 100% through investments such as battery storage (Scope 1)

  • Construct an energy-neutral office and purchase a battery storage system.
  • Encourage staff to minimize heating use and dress warmly.
  • Replace gas-powered installations with gas-free alternatives.


Objective: Increase the share of hybrid/electric vehicles to 50% (Scope 2)

  • Share the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles with employees via DDM Info.
  • Install at least one charging station per ten parking spaces.
