Trip.com launches integrated carbon program to provide traveller sustainable travel options

Trip.com has launched its integrated carbon solution to enable  Trip.com users worldwide to address the 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 by supporting impactful climate solutions around the world. 

Customers booking on Trip.com will now be presented with the opportunity to address their flight’s CO2 emissions during the booking journey. 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, enabling customers to seamlessly address their CO2 emissions as part of the customer experience. 

Jane Sun, Chief Executive Officer at Trip.com Group, said: “As part of our mission to lead the global transformation to modern and more environmentally-responsible travel, we have partnered with CHOOOSE to contribute towards highly effective CO2-mitigating projects 

around the world. This makes it easier and simpler for Trip.com users to offset their flight’s  CO2 emissions during checkout on our platform and travel more responsibly.” 

Andreas Slettvoll, Chief Executive Officer at CHOOOSE, said: “We see an increasing demand from individuals and companies around the world wanting to understand the CO2 emissions from their travel and to address these emissions through solutions like carbon removals,  offsets and sustainable aviation fuel. That’s why we are thrilled to team up with Trip.com to  offer integrated climate options as a seamless part of their booking process, making climate  action more accessible for people worldwide.” 

Trip.com and CHOOOSE calculate CO2 emissions based on factors such as a flight’s distance,  capacity and flying time, in accordance with the latest industry guidelines. This calculation helps to inform the cost to offset the journey, as well as guide which itineraries may be producing the least amount of CO2 per passenger. 

Trip.com and CHOOOSE have selected a range of high-impact CO2 mitigation projects around the world that either reduce, remove, or avoid CO2 emissions. The projects are carefully vetted by carbon professionals and certified to the most comprehensive standards such as the Gold Standard, a leading international carbon protocol. This ensures that the projects create the highest possible carbon impact and a real benefit to local communities, so travellers know their contributions make a difference.
