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.

We seek to contribute to a sustainable world. A world for current and future generations in the region, the business community and shipping. The port plays an increasingly important role in the city and region’s metabolism. Like supply and disposal, the ‘roundabout’ of circular waste and resources, and the battery role for clean energy.

Together with major stakeholders, Port of Amsterdam has formulated a vision on the development of the port for the period up to 2030. This was adopted by our shareholder, the municipality of Amsterdam, in June 2015.
