Environment
As a civil, marine, and offshore contractor, Jan De Nul has a large influence on the environment. We actively participate in the transition to renewable energy, valorise polluted sites, and protect coasts from erosion. At the same time, we actively reduce our emissions, we reuse as many materials as possible, and introduce sustainable solutions in our projects.
