In our annual report you will read why we have set certain goals for ourselves, how we wish to achieve these goals, for whom and with whom we are pursuing them and the value we give back to the community in the process. These goals also enable us to expand on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Schiphol also helped initiate the Airports Sustainability Declaration. The initiative involves working with other airports.
Royal Schiphol Group is an airport company with an important socio-economic task. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol creates value for the community and for the economy not only in the greater Amsterdam metropolitan area but also in the rest of the Netherlands and beyond, too.
You might be thinking: Value creation?' What's that?. Well, the value that Schiphol adds can be measured by the airport's impact on certain aspects of society. Our input produces either positive or negative output (impact). A sum of the positive and negative impact is the ultimate result. When determining Schiphol's value creation, we look at manufactured, social, human, intellectual, natural and financial capital.

Furthermore, Royal Schiphol Group has enjoyed a top 10 position in the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Transparency Benchmark for a number of years.
