In 2019, Schiphol reported carbon emissions of approximately 0.00168 kg CO2e per passenger, reflecting their operational impact. The previous year, 2018, saw a slightly lower figure of about 0.00164 kg CO2e per passenger. However, specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed, indicating a lack of detailed reporting on their overall carbon footprint. Currently, Schiphol has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. This absence of defined climate pledges suggests that while the airport is aware of its emissions per passenger, it has yet to set ambitious goals for overall emissions reduction. As a major international airport in the Netherlands, Schiphol is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability. The lack of cascaded emissions data from a parent organization further highlights the need for Schiphol to enhance its climate strategy and transparency in emissions reporting.
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.
