About Port of Amsterdam April 23 . 2025
Port of Amsterdam has achieved its CO₂ reduction target. The Port of Amsterdam aimed to reduce its corporate CO₂ emissions by 65% by 2025 compared to 2014 levels — and this goal has been met. Several initiatives contributed to this achievement: some of our locations are now off natural gas, patrol vessels have been made more sustainable and now run on greener fuels, our travel policy has been revised, company cars are electric, and a new expense reporting system has been introduced, giving us better insight into the CO₂ emissions associated with our travel.
