Sustainable Choices

Mission Zero displays the carbon emissions associated with all flight options, taking into account the seat class and aircraft type making it easy to identify and select more sustainable booking choices. To make a difference on the ground it also supports the prioritization of  rental car options to hybrid and battery electric  vehicles.

Integrated Carbon Offset

An integrated offset program calculates emissions and directs funds to world-class, impactful environmental projects aligned to your preferences. An accurate calculation of the carbon impact and associated offset is displayed on the booking confirmation screen, informing the traveler that the trip has been covered by the corporate’s offset program.

This is facilitated by integration with BlueHalo® provided by Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a carbon offset?

One carbon offset represents one metric tonne of greenhouse gas emissions reduced or removed from the atmosphere. A carbon offset is created by either a) removing one tonne of emissions from the atmosphere by for example planting forests, or b) preventing one tonne of emissions from reaching the atmosphere by for example replacing a fossil-fuel burning power plant with a wind farm.

How does carbon offsetting work for flights?

As planes fly they burn fuel that releases greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. We have calculated the emissions for each flight offered by a carrier and as a passenger you can offset your share of these emissions. We then pass your offset contribution to verified carbon offset projects around the world that mitigate climate change, protect wildlife and nourish communities.

We have an existing carbon offset program, how would the Zeno offering work with that?

The Zeno Mission Zero offset program offers portfolios of investments verified to the highest international standards, that deliver measurable benefits to people and the planet. These have been tailored to business travel customers and can be invested in alongside your general business operations offsets.

What are the carbon offset programs that Zeno Mission Zero offers?

Zeno Mission Zero provides customers with a choice between two high impact project portfolios:

Global Portfolio

  • Wind projects
  • REDD+  (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation

Australia, New Zealand & Global Portfolio

  • Australian carbon projects
  • New Zealand Projects (NZUs)
  • Global Renewable Energy Projects
  • REDD+  (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation

Do individual travelers have to pay for the offset at time of booking like on airline websites?

No, the offset is managed at a corporate level. Travelers are able to see the carbon offset calculation at the time of booking along with the environmental programs that the offset portfolio is investing in.

What if a booking is subsequently changed or cancelled?

Zeno will only offset the emissions from your booking after a trip has occurred to allow for any travel changes or cancellations

How do we access offset reporting and certifications?

Customers can access their offsetting reporting through the BlueHalo ‘Neso’ reporting suite. Within Neso, you can download reports on your organization's previous carbon calculations and the volumes of offsetting done to date. Customers can also access their formal retirement certificates as proof of their commitment to carbon neutral travel. 

Will emission data and carbon offsetting be available for accommodation and other modes of travel?

Yes, these enhancements are currently part of the production suite being coordinated by Serko and TEM and will be released at a later date.
