SAS to implement carbon-offset for loyalty bookings
SAS is to introduce a new carbon-offset scheme which will encompass all tickets booked through its loyalty programme EuroBonus. The company says the scheme, which commences Friday, will mean 40% of all passenger-related carbon dioxide emissions will be offset. SAS had indicated such plans in its newly-published sustainability report for 2017-18, following its decision to offset all youth tickets from April last year. The company already offsets its own business trips. The company aims to cut total carbon emissions by 25% by 2030, compared with 2005, a measure which, it says, “goes beyond” targets set by IATA. “We reckon that around half of these reductions will be achieved through fleet renewal and other improvements, and the rest through the adoption of biofuels,” states the sustainability report. <br/>
