First CO2-Neutral building company

Beddeleem is leading the way in sustainable entrepreneurship and climate action in the building sector as the first Belgian construction company to receive a CO2-neutral certification.

Our mission and vision prioritize sustainability, which we integrate into every task we carry out. We are dedicated to decreasing our impact through innovation and thoughtfulness.

By investing in CO2-neutral construction, we are helping to create a society that is respectful of our planet and its resources. 

Together we can make it happen!

 

The building sector is responsible for a large portion of global CO2 emissions. As such, it is of utmost importance that this sector becomes carbon-neutral in order to help mitigate climate change.

Looking for a partner who is serious about climate action?

Then look no further. At Beddeleem we are proud pioniers in sustainable design and respectfull production. 

Our fully CO2-neutral production site is equipped with the latest and most advanced technologies, allowing us to reduce our carbon footprint without compromising on quality.  Not only our production site is included, but our entire scope 1 and 2 activities, as well as partial scope 3 activities. This includes among others all transport to construction sites, the small fraction of waste still generated in operations, our electricity and heat consumption, business travel and employee commuting.

In 2020, we made this full calculation across scope 1 and 2 and part of scope 3 for the first time. Our goal is twofold : further identifying our impact in scope 3 and continuous improvement through our reduction measures. 

We committed to -42% reduction by 2030 on scope 1 and 2 and -25% reduction on scope 3. 

In 2022, our impact in scope 1 and 2 was around 763.36 t CO2-eq. In line with this, and with the scope 3 portion surveyed, we opted for immediate action by supporting climate projects through CO2-logic (South Pole).

Thus, Beddeleem has been CO2 neutral since 2020 and we continue to work towards a climate-neutral future for all of us through our reduction targets.

By creating sustainable products that adhere to the principles of Cradle to Cradle and innovating on circular business models, we are able to further reduce the impact of our clients' projects.

We have been producing our own green electricity with as many as 5,500 solar panels since 2011 and are constantly innovating to reduce our carbon footprint. Depending on the annual solar yield, we cover up to 97% of our own electricity needs. 40 to 45% we can use ourselves at the time of generation, the remainder goes into the grid from which we buy our own green electricity if our needs exceed our solar profits.

Continuous innovation and our CO2 neutrality ensure that our production site is sustainable and future-proof, so you can build with confidence.
