Trip.com launches carbon offset scheme
Trip.com launched an integrated carbon solution to enable users worldwide to address CO2 emissions of their travel.
The global travel platform has partnered with climate-tech company CHOOOSE to offer travellers the option to calculate and offset their flight’s CO2 emissions.
For a small cost, travellers’ offsets will support projects that either reduce, capture, or avoid CO2 emissions in an amount equivalent to the flight’s calculated emissions.
The CHOOOSE solution is integrated directly into the Trip.com platform.
Jane Sun, Chief Executive Officer at Trip.com Group, said: “We have partnered with CHOOOSE to contribute towards effective CO2-mitigating projects. This makes it easier and simpler for Trip.com users to offset their flight’s CO2 emissions.”
Trip.com and CHOOOSE calculate CO2 emissions per passenger based on factors such as aircraft fuel consumption, seat configuration, and flight distance, in accordance with the latest industry guidelines.
Trip.com and CHOOOSE have selected a range of mitigation projects around the world.
The projects are carefully vetted and certified.
