KLM Climate Commitments and Emissions Data

KLM, an air transport services provider headquartered in the Netherlands, has established significant climate commitments, including a net-zero emissions goal by 2050. Their targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to align with the Paris Agreement.

Emissions Data:

• 2024: KLM reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 3.27 billion kg CO2e from mobile combustion and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 2.64 billion kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution.
• 2023: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 3.15 billion kg CO2e (mobile combustion), with Scope 3 emissions at around 2.54 billion kg CO2e (upstream transportation and distribution).
• 2022: Total emissions for 2022 were approximately 11.32 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 3.15 billion kg CO2e (mobile combustion), Scope 2 emissions of approximately 30.7 million kg CO2e (total location-based), and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 2.54 billion kg CO2e (upstream transportation and distribution).
• 2021: Total emissions were approximately 9.27 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 7.42 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at around 31.2 million kg CO2e.
• 2020: Total emissions were approximately 7.42 billion kg CO2e.
• 2019: Total emissions amounted to approximately 16.6 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 12.08 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of roughly 33.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 4.47 billion kg CO2e.
• 2018: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 11.94 billion kg CO2e.
• 2017: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.01 billion kg CO2e.
• 2016: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 11.96 billion kg CO2e.
• 2015: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.18 billion kg CO2e.
• 2014: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.13 billion kg CO2e.
• 2013: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.08 billion kg CO2e.
• 2012: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.21 billion kg CO2e.
• 2011: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.29 billion kg CO2e.
• 2010: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 11.86 billion kg CO2e.
• 2009: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.1 billion kg CO2e.
• 2008: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 13.06 billion kg CO2e.
• 2007: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.53 billion kg CO2e.
• 2006: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.93 billion kg CO2e.
• 2005: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.56 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

KLM is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Their SBTi-validated targets include:

• A near-term goal for Scope 1 emissions to achieve a 30% relative reduction per Revenue Tonne Kilometer (RTK) by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. This also translates to a 12% absolute reduction in Scope 1 emissions.
• A commitment to reduce well-to-wake Scope 1 and Scope 3 jet fuel greenhouse gas emissions by 30% per revenue tonne kilometer by FY2030, using FY2019 as a base year. The target boundary includes biogenic land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
