Code Zero Commitment

We all cherish sustainable ambitions.

But how can we put them into practise? Our awareness programme Code Zero unites all sustainable initiatives into four pillars: Zero Emissions, Zero Accidents, Zero Waste and Zero Breaches. A milestone, rather than a starting point. And only one piece of the puzzle. To make a real difference, we need everyone’s support, from our own employees and clients to suppliers, local communities and governments.

ZERO EMISSIONS

We reduce our ecological footprint.

Global climate change is threatening our way of life. By reducing our ecological footprint to an absolute minimum, we want to contribute to a more sustainable world. At Jan De Nul, that is not a distant goal: we explore the possibilities of biofuels and our Ultra-Low Emission vessels are a standard in our sector. Let’s go for zero!

We implement all necessary measures to prevent incidents at work. We respect human rights, invest in training, strive for a diverse and inclusive work culture and care for the communities around us.
