In 2018, AMSTERDAM reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 20,000,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 5,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 8,540,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 13,540,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which notably includes 1,346,000,000 kg CO2e attributed to purchased goods and services. Currently, there are no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from AMSTERDAM, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of specific initiatives or targets suggests that while the organisation is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised a strategy for reduction or engagement with frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As a company headquartered in the Netherlands, AMSTERDAM's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, highlighting the need for enhanced climate action and commitment to sustainability in line with global climate goals.
