Strategically, Boskalis positions itself at the intersection of growing energy demand, expanding global trade, population growth and climate change. It explicitly targets work that facilitates the energy transition and protects people and nature from rising sea levels and extreme weather, including nature-based “Building with Nature” initiatives and partnerships such as its collaboration with Wetlands International on coastal wetland and blue‑carbon solutions.
