Schiphol's reported carbon emissions
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 categories, as no detailed emissions data has been disclosed for these scopes. Schiphol has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the aviation sector, particularly as global awareness of carbon emissions intensifies. Overall, while Schiphol provides some emissions data, it lacks comprehensive reporting and ambitious climate commitments, which are critical for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
