- better provision of bicycle parking facilities for employees - budget for buying or leasing an (E-)bike for commuting (on a bigger distance) for employees - Providing a public transport card for commuting and for business travels - no flying rule for business trips, stimulating international train travel instead - electrification of car fleet - purchase of all services with sustainable travel requirement of consultants/suppliers - sustainable logistics of facility management - better digital solutions and facilities for working mobile/from home to decrease commuting - knowledge sharing between companies on sustainable work travel

The impact and scope of the employers approach is dependent on the budget made available by responsible bodies.

While CO2-reduction through rollout and expansion of the ZE zone is initially relatively small because the logistics sector is responsible for less than four % of the CO2 that comes from mobility. Even then, full rollout of the ZE zone for logistics has the potential to eventually reduce local CO2 emissions by 5.873 ton. This was calculated in 2023 by research institute CE Delft, which conducted research on the CO2 reduction potential for a series of different interventions in the mobility sector.

Currently, there is very little legislation in place to encourage or force companies to build and demolish in a sustainable way.

Stricter legislation and construction guidelines on the National and European level is needed.

Sustainability within the Municipality of The Hague

Figure 13: Solar rooftop of theatre ‘De Regentes’ with skyline of The Hague on the background

To become climate-neutral as a city, the municipal organisation needs to transition to become climate-neutral too. The municipality of The Hague counts 9.000 civil servants, with an additional 3.000 external hires. The municipality owns 672 buildings and rents another 85. For its own operations, it uses about 60 buildings. Other functions include swimming pools, libraries, and sports centres, among others. The municipal fleet counts 215 vehicles, with another 445 in lease, and ranges from ambulances to scooters and forklifts. The municipality has an annual purchasing budget of one billion euros for its own operations. To put this in perspective: the total worth of the city’s economy is 40 billion euros. This means that the choices we make in employing, contracting, and purchasing can make a significant impact both in terms of CO2 emissions and in setting the right example.

We aim to accelerate sustainability efforts and

Our first objective is to get certified for level three. In the meantime, we will also be making the necessary preparations to get certified for level four in order to actively have a positive impact in the economic chain. Furthermore, once we have been certified on the third level we want to investigate the opportunities that lie in CO2 accounting to further level the playing field. The CO2 Performance ladder provides excellent foundations to build on in that regard.
