Schiphol's reported carbon emissions

In 2018, Schiphol reported carbon emissions of approximately 0.00164 kg CO2e per passenger, while in 2019, this figure slightly increased to about 0.00168 kg CO2e per passenger. The emissions data does not specify the total emissions in kg CO2e for these years, nor does it detail the scopes of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3). Currently, there are no disclosed reduction targets or significant climate commitments from Schiphol, indicating a lack of formalised strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. The absence of specific reduction initiatives or climate pledges suggests that Schiphol may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate action plan. As the aviation industry faces increasing pressure to address climate change, Schiphol's future commitments and strategies will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals.
