Flughafen Hamburg GmbH's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Flughafen Hamburg GmbH reported carbon emissions of approximately 7,800 kg CO2e per traffic unit and about 48,330 kg CO2e per employee. This data reflects the company's operational impact but does not specify emissions across Scope 1, 2, or 3 categories, as no detailed emissions data has been disclosed for these scopes. Comparatively, in 2021, the emissions per traffic unit were about 18,110 kg CO2e, and per employee, approximately 51,610 kg CO2e. In 2020, these figures were around 17,930 kg CO2e per traffic unit and about 48,050 kg CO2e per employee. This indicates a potential trend in emissions per traffic unit, although specific reduction targets or achievements have not been outlined. Flughafen Hamburg GmbH has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of such commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Overall, while Flughafen Hamburg GmbH provides some emissions data, the lack of comprehensive scope-specific information and formal reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
