CO2 Performance Ladder Level 3 Certification
FincoEnergies is the first sustainable fuels company to attain Level 3 certification on the CO2 Performance Ladder. This means we have rigorously mapped our own carbon footprint, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the emissions associated with our organisation and processes. This enabled us to reduce our carbon emissions with 40%.
International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Certification
ISCC believes that sustainable supply chains are crucial to fight the most severe impacts of the climate crisis. Since greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are major contributors to climate change, we also consider the identification and reduction of GHG emissions as an important part of our work.
Decade of transformative growth
Our story began at a kitchen table in 2013. Founders Peter Nohlmans and Jan-Willem van der Velden started from scratch, building not only a business but also an organization that would become the dynamic and ambitious company we are today. Early on, they made strategic moves, i.e. acquiring a terminal in Amsterdam and securing a majority interest in wholesaler Dalhuisen. These were bold steps, backed by a team of specialists who shared their adventurous spirit. Together, they laid the foundation upon which FincoEnergies would grow.
Shifting Focus: Sustainability and Carbon Reduction
With each passing year, our company flourished. New faces joined our ranks, our management team grew stronger. We ventured into new territories, taking over several marine activities. Staff functions were established to ensure efficiency and excellence in every aspect of our business. Our expansion into Switzerland and Germany was a testament to our ambition. FincoEnergies became increasingly visible on the global stage.
As we approached the end of the last decade, our focus shifted towards sustainability and carbon reduction. It was a pivotal moment in our journey. The acquisition of GoodFuels and GoodShipping not only expanded our horizons, but also accelerated our commitment to creating a better world. This period laid the foundation for our current role as pioneers in the energy transition with a lead in decarbonization solutions.
Unfinished Story: Opportunities Ahead for a Sustainable Future
