In our Earth Day blog, we outlined the steps Bluecrux was taking on climate action and our ambition to embed sustainability more deeply in our organization. As the end of the year approaches, we can already reflect on the meaningful progress that has been made – and set a clear, ambitious course for the year ahead.
Over the course of 2025, Bluecrux has deliberately invested in strengthening the foundations that make sustainability actionable, repeatable, and scalable. Rather than relying on informal, implicit practices or individual initiatives, we set out to turn shared expectations into clear standards that guide how we operate and how decisions are made across the organization.
As a result, we established and updated several core policies, including those on:
We believe that this is now more important than ever.
Together, these core policies define how environmental, social, and ethical considerations are integrated into our daily operations and into our collaboration with suppliers and partners.
While these policies are not yet publicly available, it is our ambition to make them accessible over time as part of our broader commitment to transparency. Today, they already serve an important internal role: to create clarity, support consistent implementation across teams, and provide a solid basis for measurement, reporting, and external assessments such as EcoVadis.
By focusing on these foundations first, Bluecrux is creating the conditions needed to turn sustainability ambitions into lasting impact.
In our earlier Earth Day blog, we shared our climate targets and the main levers we are using to achieve them, including the electrification of our car fleet and the transition of our global offices to 100% renewable electricity. With those commitments in place, the focus in 2025 has been on tracking progress and understanding how our emissions are evolving in practice.
Using 2023 as our base year, Bluecrux committed to reducing its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030. In 2023, our Scope 1 emissions amounted to 319 tCO₂e, while Scope 2 emissions were 18.3 tCO₂e, resulting in a combined total of 337.3 tCO₂e.
In 2024, Scope 1 emissions decreased to 272 tCO₂e, representing a reduction of approximately 15% compared to 2023. This reduction is primarily the result of the continued electrification of our car fleet, which is reducing direct fuel-related emissions. At the same time, Scope 2 emissions increased to 49.7 tCO₂e, an increase of approximately 172% year-on-year, reflecting higher electricity consumption as emissions shift from fuel to electricity, as well as increased office use linked to the continued growth of our organization.
Taken together, our combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2024 amounted to 321.7 tCO₂e, corresponding to an overall reduction of 4.6% versus our 2023 base year. This means that, one year into our target period, we have achieved roughly 11% of the total reduction required to reach our 42% ambition by 2030. This dynamic reinforces why our transition plan combines electrification with a longer-term move to renewable electricity.
In parallel – and recognizing that a significant share of our footprint lies in our value chain – we have also set an internal target to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 10% by 2030, using 2024 as a base year.
These figures underline an important reality: climate action is not a straight line. Progress requires continuous measurement, informed decisions, and adjustments along the way. By tracking our emissions transparently against science-based targets, Bluecrux is building a clear transition pathway, one that allows us to learn, adapt, and accelerate where needed as we work towards our 2030 goals.
External assessments play an important role in how Bluecrux tracks progress and sharpens its focus. They provide an independent view on our maturity and help translate internal efforts into concrete improvement priorities.
At the start of 2025, Bluecrux used feedback from its previous EcoVadis assessment to identify a number of clear priorities. A key focus was to strengthen and formalize policies so that expectations were made explicit and consistently applied across the organization.
This work is reflected in the results of our 2025 EcoVadis assessment, where our overall score increased from 60 to 66. The renewed score maintains our Bronze medal status and places Bluecrux in the 74th percentile of assessed companies. In addition, EcoVadisrecognized Bluecrux as a leader in carbon management, highlighting progress made on emissions measurement, targets, and governance.
In parallel, Bluecrux submitted to CDP, reporting on climate data for 2024, and received a B score for climate change. Beyond the score itself, we are using CDP as a lever to further establish and strengthen climate-related governance, including more structured approaches to climate transition planning and climate risk assessment.
Taken together, EcoVadis and CDP provide both external validation and practical guidance. They help us benchmark progress, identify gaps, and focus our efforts where they matter most as we continue to mature our sustainability approach.
With policies, targets, and external benchmarks in place, our focus now shifts to consistent execution. The coming year will be about ensuring that what has been defined is applied in practice, across teams, regions, and activities.
Internally, this includes a stronger focus on implementation, transparency, and accountability. One concrete next step is the publication of a full-fledged CSR report, bringing together our policies, targets, actions, and performance in a more structured and transparent way. In parallel, we will focus on identifying and prioritizing initiatives that can accelerate progress towards our emissions reduction targets, building on the transition levers already in place.
At the same time, this internal work will complement a clearer external perspective. As Bluecrux continues to support companies in complex value chain transformations, we see a need to more concretely define what sustainability in value chains means for us and forour customers. This includes clarifying how sustainability considerations – such as emissions, efficiency, and resilience – are translated into practical, data-driven solutions and decisions across value chains.
By focusing first on execution and transparency internally, we aim to create a stronger foundation for delivering tangible and consistent value externally. This next phase is less about setting new ambitions, and more about turning existing commitments into measurable progress, both within Bluecrux and across the value chains we support.
