The SDGs that hold their main focus are Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Climate Action and Life Below Water.
Climate Policy and Plans
To reach the goals that are laid down in the Paris Agreement it is inevitable for companies to make the switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Boskalis’ ambition is to be climate neutral by 2050 across all their global operations.
Due Diligence
Keep the broader context in mind. Is the company integer when it comes to deforestation, palm oil, biodiversity, human rights etc etc? Be critical in the sources used here.
Conclusion
If Boskalis is indeed trying to reach the goals they appear to have set for themselves they need to put in more effort. Starting by things such as including a human rights clause into the contracts they conclude with their cliënts. Furthermore, they shall have to make more careful Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) in order to control the environmental damage inflicted because of their activities. Even if these damages do not always conclude the direct extra output of greenhouse gas emissions, in the end they will still add to the damage to the environment.
