Schiphol's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Schiphol's carbon emissions for 2019 were approximately 0.00168 kg CO2e per passenger. This figure reflects the emissions associated with employee travel, although specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. Schiphol has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they outlined any science-based targets (SBTi) for emissions reduction. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that while Schiphol is aware of its carbon footprint, it may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In the context of the aviation industry, which is under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Schiphol's current lack of specific targets may be a point of concern for stakeholders focused on sustainability and climate action.
