Cleaner energy, lower emissions

On event days, the Johan Cruijff ArenA is packed with tens of thousands of people. We're proud of that, and at the same time we realise this asks a lot from the world around us. Which is why we're determined to lower our energy intensity and CO2 emissions as far as possible without compromising on the experience of our visitors.  

Where do our emissions come from?

• Only 3% of CO2 emissions come from our own operations.
• The remaining 97% comes from the supply chain – from purchased goods to waste processing. 

From green to clean

High on our list of priorities is our goal to reduce our own emissions to zero. What does this mean?Operating on 100% green energy and using everything we consume wisely. Our goals are to: 

• Produce zero emissions from direct activities by 2030 .
• Consume 55% less energy in 2030 than in 2018.

In the spotlight

We always want to aim higher. That said, we can also be proud of what has been achieved so far. In the past six years we have reduced our energy usage by 21%. This has reduced our own energy consumption to just 3% of the total emissions. These projects have been important in achieving this milestone. 

Tackling the challenges

Raising the bar is sometimes easier said than done. Sometimes we are hampered by external factors that we can’t control. From district heating to packaging and from construction projects to the food ingredients – we don't have full control, but we are taking full responsibility.
