Methodology and key assumptions:
The energy consumption and mix are taken from the scope 1 and 2 source data of the CO2-eq-footprint. Focus points and assumptions in the applied methodology include:
-
Fugitive emissions (such as technical gas leakage, refrigerants, and SF6) do not involve energy consumption and are therefore not included in the table.
-
Our purchased electricity on line 9 includes Guarantees of Origin (GOs).
-
The conversion factors used are from DEFRA (Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2024 - GOV.UK) and the Regional Climate Monitor of the Dutch government (Renewable energy report – Amersfoort)
In 2024, the biogas used in our buildings was inaccurately labelled ‘renewable’. This has now been corrected to ‘fossil’, using the correct conversion factor. The impact of this adjustment is 1,551 MWh.
Explanation of changes in 2025 compared to 2024
Total energy consumption increased by 27,580 MWh compared to 2024, which is an increase of 2%. This increase is mainly attributable to higher grid losses resulting from the expansion of the electricity grid, which in turn led to greater energy consumption from renewable sources.
In addition, 2025 saw a shift from purchased energy from fossil sources (category 5) to purchased energy from renewable sources (category 9). As a result, the share of fossil energy in our total energy consumption declined. This shift is driven by the fact that, from 2025 onwards, we also purchase green electricity with Guarantees of Origin for electric lease and service vehicles, in line with our CO₂-eq reduction targets.
Based on our NACE codes (D35.1, D35.2, and F42.2(ESRS E1 par. 42)), we operate in a sector with a significant climate impact. This is our energy intensity: (ESRS E1 par. 40 en 41)

The net revenue from activities in sectors with a significant climate impact is based on the net revenue reported in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statement. (ESRS E1-5 par. 43 en AR 38)
Energy intensity decreased compared to 2024. This was caused by the fact that net revenue increased more (14%) than our energy consumption (2%).
