Alliander’s CO2 target
validated by SBTi 

In 2025, Alliander received the green light for its CO2 targets for 2030. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has confirmed that our targets are firmly grounded in science and align with the Paris Climate Agreement. This means that we, as an organisation, meet the strictest international requirements for reduction of our carbon footprint.

Our ambition

Direct carbon emissions (scope 1)

Reduce emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to 2021

  • reduce the number of methane leaks 
  • prevent non-contracted consumption and fraud 
  • electrify our fleet of vehicles 
  • make our buildings sustainable 

Indirect carbon emissions from purchased energy (scope 2)

Green our electricity consumption (including network losses) for the full 100% by 2030 

  • procure green power 
  • limit network losses 

Carbon emissions in the value chain (scope 3) 

  • Purchased goods and services – supplier engagement  
    80% of our suppliers have their own ambitious climate targets by 2030
  • Gas transmission (consumption of transported gas) 
    reduce emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to 2021 

Emission reduction
at Alliander 

Alliander is an organisation that consumes a lot of energy and emits large volumes of greenhouse gases. A large share of these emissions results from network losses as energy is transported through thousands of kilometres of cables and pipelines.  

For many years now, we have been working to reduce those emissions by using cleaner energy and greening the energy supply in our buildings and processes: 

  • We are cutting technical network losses by investing in leak detection and more efficient cables and technical stations. 
  • We are cutting administrative network losses by combating energy fraud and preventing properties from being left vacant. 
  • We drive less, smarter and with better fuel economy thanks to cleaner leased and company cars, electric vehicles and by encouraging employees to cycle to work. 
  • We work in energy-efficient buildings, some of which are even energy-positive. 
  • We are greening our other network losses by purchasing Guarantees of Origin (mainly for Dutch wind power).
