Sustainable business change – toward a value-driven Schiphol
Schiphol is aiming to become a fully circular airport by 2050. We cannot predict the future, but trends such as scarcity of materials and personnel and rising prices are clearly visible. Based on this, we are developing a plan to tackle the business change for Schiphol. Achieving this change requires collaboration between four main building blocks: circular chain management, asset lifecycle management, material flow management and data. Well-defined KPIs and data are key for our success. They give us the proper tools to monitor and steer our circular performance.
The audience will learn:
- Learning by doing: to realize our 2050 goal of being a fully circular airport, we must act now
- A value-driven organization needs actionable data on sustainability in order to guide decision-making
- Defining clear responsibilities and an integral approach throughout the entire lifecycle chain is a necessity for success
