Press Release: Uniglobe Travel & Anthesis work together sustainably
Schiphol Airport, April 23, 2021
Uniglobe Travel and Anthesis have started a cooperation in the field of sustainable business travel. Sustainability has been a topic of conversation in our society and therefore also in many companies. Uniglobe Travel is aware of this and has set itself the goal to create sustainable awareness among its customers and at the same time offer the possibility to offset their CO₂ emissions. By linking the flight data to the renewed Anthesis Flight Carbon Calculator, the CO₂ emissions are calculated even more accurately and, if desired, can be compensated directly. Thanks to the extensive CO₂ reporting, the customer is enabled to make conscious, but above all sustainable choices. By default, Uniglobe Travel consolidates the CO₂ emissions from flights for all its customers through a VCS Redd+ forest project certified by Anthesis. The project contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and is certified to the highest possible international, verified standards. If companies decide to offset their CO₂ emissions through Uniglobe, they receive an annual certificate as justification.
"An integrated solution has been chosen that allows for problem-free exchange of flight data in a secure manner. I am delighted that our cooperation has come about in this way. With this we can help our customers meet their sustainability goals. This is our conception of corporate social responsibility, not just in words but in concrete form," said Cees Klinkenberg Director Uniglobe Travel Holland.
"By Uniglobe Travel's choice of our new flight calculator, which accurately calculates CO₂ emissions specifically for each flight, together we are ensuring a sustainable start as soon as it is possible to fly again," adds Marjan Verbeek, Strategic Partnership Manager.
