The issuance of the green bond reflects Schiphol’s ambition to be the most sustainable airport. It contributes to achieving the “smart and Sustainable” plan, which was recently presented by the Dutch aviation industry. Part of that plan is that all terminals, offices and the ground operation of all airports connected to the Royal Schiphol Group will become climate neutral.
