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 their 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 airport's emissions were about 18,110 kg CO2e per traffic unit and approximately 51,610 kg CO2e per employee, indicating a potential reduction in emissions per traffic unit year-on-year. In 2020, the figures were about 17,930 kg CO2e per traffic unit and around 48,050 kg CO2e per employee. Flughafen Hamburg GmbH has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they report any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. The absence of cascaded data from a parent organization suggests that their emissions reporting is independent. Overall, while Flughafen Hamburg GmbH has made strides in tracking emissions per traffic unit and employee, further commitments and detailed emissions disclosures would enhance their climate strategy and accountability.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
