As of 2019, Schiphol's carbon emissions data indicates a passenger-related emission factor of approximately 0.00168 kg CO2e per passenger. This figure reflects the airport's operational impact but does not specify total emissions across Scope 1, 2, or 3, as no detailed emissions data has been disclosed for these scopes. Schiphol has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised climate commitments at this time. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the airport may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Schiphol has made strides in measuring its emissions per passenger, further transparency and commitment to reduction targets will be essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
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.
Schiphol is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
