Schiphol's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Schiphol's carbon emissions for 2019 are not explicitly detailed in terms of total emissions in kg CO2e. However, the airport has reported emissions per passenger, which stands at approximately 0.00168 kg CO2e for that year. This figure reflects the carbon footprint associated with employee-related activities, although specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data has not been disclosed. In 2018, the emissions per passenger were slightly lower at about 0.00164 kg CO2e, indicating a minor improvement in their carbon efficiency over the year. Despite these figures, Schiphol has not set specific reduction targets or disclosed any climate pledges, which suggests a need for more robust climate commitments in line with industry standards. Overall, while Schiphol has made strides in measuring its emissions per passenger, the absence of comprehensive emissions data and clear reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
