ABN AMRO bank joins KLM Corporate Biofuel Program

In the Netherlands, the KLM Corporate Biofuel Program has welcomed its 12th partner: the ABN AMRO bank has officially joined the group of trendsetting corporations who share KLM’s vision on sustainability and are striving to reduce their environmental footprint.

The agreement was signed at the ABN AMRO head office by Gerrit Zalm, Chairman of the Managing Board of ABN AMRO and Pieter Elbers, President & CEO of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

The corporations that participate in the KLM Corporate Biofuel Program pay a surcharge that covers the price difference between sustainable biofuel and traditional kerosene. This investment is fully utilized by KLM to purchase sustainable biofuel, which is added to the fuel pumped into KLM aircraft at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and elsewhere. Consequently, the participating corporations reduce CO2 emissions resulting from their business travel, but also contribute to the further development of the biofuel market.
