Jan De Nul Group
60Credible Contributor· ProvisionalBelgian family-owned dredging and marine engineering contractor with a large fleet specialised in offshore wind cable installation and foundation work, active on major European and international projects.
Why it's on ClimateTicker
Jan De Nul is a genuine critical enabler of renewable energy infrastructure — its offshore wind installation and subsea cable-laying fleet underpins European and international energy transition projects. However, it is primarily a construction and dredging contractor whose own operational footprint is large and carbon-heavy, and its diversified revenues still include oil, gas, and port infrastructure services that dilute the pure-climate narrative.
