The finding that 96% of Dura Vermeer’s CO2 emissions are in scope 3 shows that the largest climate impact sits in the value chain rather than only in direct operations. Materials, suppliers, projects, subcontractors and downstream choices therefore become central to reduction strategy.
In the Dura Vermeer footprint work, this distinction is important for CSRD readiness and practical steering. A scope 3-heavy profile means that procurement, design choices and project execution need to be connected to climate management. The footprint becomes a tool for choosing where influence is strongest.
