Climate Agreement

The Climate Agreement is a package of measures and agreements between companies, civil society organizations and governments to collectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands by about half by 2030 (compared to 1990).

Many new laws and regulations have resulted from the Climate Agreement. This has an impact on business in the Netherlands, especially in the areas of business mobility and CO₂ reduction. On this page, we explain how your organization can be ready for the new legislation such as the Reporting Requirement Work-related Mobility of Persons.

The Environment Act

The Environment Act received the green light from the Senate on March 14, 2023, and may enter into force on January 1, 2024.

The law should make it easier for citizens and businesses to apply for permits for new homes, roads and bicycle paths and other spatial planning projects. To this end, the law combines and better aligns all kinds of existing laws, including those on the environment, water and nature.

Decision Work-related Personal Mobility CO₂ Reduction

The Normative Regulation on Work-Related Personal Mobility is part of the Environment Act. Because the mandatory standard will not be introduced for the time being, its name has been changed to the Reporting Requirement Work-related Mobility of Persons.

The purpose of this decision on CO₂ Reduction from Work-related Personal Mobility is to gain insight into how much is actually emitted. On January 1, 2024, all employers with more than 100 employees will start registering all business travel movements. In 2025 we will see where we stand. If the collective CO₂ emissions exceed the interim ceiling, a binding standard will be imposed per employer.

We are here for all your questions about the Reporting Regulation Work-related Mobility of Persons.

Why is there the Reporting Requirement Work-related Mobility of Persons

The Reporting Obligation Work-related Mobility of Persons is part of the Dutch Climate Agreement concluded in 2019. Approximately 27% of all CO₂ emissions are caused by mobility and more than half of that is accounted for by employers. This regulation has a target of 1 megaton CO₂ reduction by 2030.

To whom does the Reporting Obligation Work-related Mobility of Persons apply?

Companies in NL with 100+ employees
Employee: Minimum 20 hours of paid work (including seasonal)
Excluded: Temporary workers, volunteers, on-call workers (o-hours)
Multiple establishments: sum up
Reference date employee count: January 1 of reporting year
Only yellow license plates, mopeds, motorcycles, public transport and (e-)bike.
Only business and commuting kilometers

When exactly does the Reporting Obligation Work-related Mobility of Persons go into effect?

Have information in order by Jan. 1, 2024
Submit data for 1 January 2024 – 31 Dec 2024 by 1 July 2025 at the latest
Afterwards, always report before 1 July of the following year via website portal of RVO
2025 Benchmark joint emission ceiling. This may be followed by a standard for CO₂ emissions per km.

What data should I provide?

In short, for each mode of transport / fuel type, all kilometers divided into commuting and business kilometers must be provided. This applies to both private cars and lease cars.

Make sure you are able to organize this before Jan. 1, 2024, we are happy to help you with this.

What does the climate agreement mean for my fleet?

Very little at this point.
As long as all that is required is reporting and there is no mandatory standard, there will be no consequences as to what type of vehicles are in your fleet.
If it turns out that we are above the intermediate ceiling after processing the reports, there will be a mandatory standard. This may already be the case in 2026; by reducing and electrifying your existing fleet you reduce the risk of additional costs for CO2 emissions.
