Klm's reported carbon emissions

KLM, a leading air transport services provider headquartered in NL, has established a comprehensive climate strategy, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050 across all scopes. The company is actively pursuing this goal with a validated Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

For the reporting year 2024, KLM reported Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion totalling approximately 3.27 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions from upstream transportation and distribution at approximately 2.64 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 3.15 billion kg CO2e, with upstream Scope 3 emissions at approximately 2.54 billion kg CO2e. Looking at 2022, total emissions reached approximately 11.32 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 mobile combustion of about 3.15 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 location-based emissions of approximately 30.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 upstream transportation and distribution of around 2.54 billion kg CO2e.

A key near-term target for KLM, validated by SBTi, is a 30% relative reduction in CO2 emissions per Revenue Tonne Kilometer (RTK) by 2030 compared to 2019. This translates to an approximate 12% absolute reduction in Scope 1 emissions by the same year. Additionally, KLM has committed to a 30% reduction in well-to-wake Scope 1 and 3 jet fuel GHG emissions per RTK by FY2030, from a FY2019 base year. The company also aims for an overall net-zero emission commitment by 2050.
