EasyJet launches carbon offset certificates for corporate fliers

Budget airline easyJet has launched carbon emissions reporting for its corporate customers, to help businesses measure the impact of their travel.

The airline issued the first certificates to its largest corporate customers across Europe this week.

The reports – believed to be an industry first – share facts, based on real flown data to enable companies to measure the carbon emissions offset when flying with easyJet and to help them set objectives for future travel.

The reports will also help businesses to identify cost savings made as easyJet offsets the carbon emissions from the fuel used for all its flights.

EasyJet only support projects that are certified by Gold Standard or the Verified Carbon Standard, which are internationally recognised certification schemes.

The reports also provide information about the projects that the airline supports through its carbon offsetting programme, as well as the airline’s wider sustainability work.

easyJet flew more than three million business customers in FY21 and has seen business travel returning, more quickly than expected..

James Marchant, Senior Business Development Manager for easyJet said: “We can see that businesses are travelling again, and they are looking not only for value but for airlines like easyJet which help them to reduce their carbon footprint.”

“We are delighted to be launching our carbon certificates for our corporate customers to help them better understand their businesses’ carbon impact.”
