Message from our CEO
In 2024, our airports welcomed more travellers while maintaining smooth operations. Building on our stable recovery, we launched a 6 billion euro investment programme, with a focus on high-quality and quieter operations. While industry challenges and uncertainties remain, I am optimistic about Schiphol's future and its role as a leading global airport—opening the world to the Dutch and strengthening our proud legacy.
Royal Schiphol Group has an important socio-economic function. The airports in the Group create value for society and for the economy, with safety as a key enabler. Together with our international activities, Schiphol Group’s Dutch airports are part of our ‘Why’ of Connecting your world.
We invest in infrastructure and facilities across our airports to connect the world and to fulfill our ambition of creating the world’s most sustainable, high-quality airports. Our robust financial policy aims to safeguard the independent financing of our business, both today and in the future.
The cornerstones of our Vision, the four Qualities - Quality of Network, Quality of Life, Quality of Work and Quality of Service - rest on a foundation of two key enablers: Safety first and a Robust organisation. Our strategy - which we review every five years - describes the actions for the coming years that will bring us closer to realising our long term ambition.
In the performance related to sustainability, Schiphol Group took further steps towards creating a more environmentally and socially responsible value chain and reporting more transparent on this using the CSRD guidelines.
For financial reporting, we strive for a prudent overall financial policy aimed at maintaining healthy access to financial markets to (partly) finance its ambitious CAPEX portfolio and refinance its current debt position. A strong and stable credit rating is therefore key.
