Green Transition
Reducing our climate impact remains an essential task for us every day at Mediahuis. In 2025, we reduced our CO2 emissions further thanks to targeted initiatives across the group. We continue to look critically at the printing and distribution of our newspapers, energy consumption in our offices and emissions from our vehicle fleet, and we’re taking systematic steps to make our processes more sustainable. These continuous improvements are all part of our broader sustainability policy, as well as our ambition to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero across our entire value chain by 2050.

Scope 1
We limit our direct CO2 emissions by
optimising the use of our buildings,
reducing our gas consumption,
implementing electric heating
systems such as heat pumps and
electrifying lease cars.
Scope 2
We reduce our CO2 emissions from
purchased electricity by converting
existing contracts to green energy
contracts. We also lower our energy
consumption by, for example,
reducing the office and printing
space we use.
Scope 3
We make more sustainable choices
in the procurement of goods such
as paper and e-commerce and by
organising our distribution more
efficiently with fewer transport
kilometres. The growing number of
digital subscriptions also contributes
to lower paper consumption.
