Admiral Jet is very proactive in its efforts to minimise the environmental impact of each flight. We are very aware of our responsibility towards our planet and are taking action to work towards cleaner, more sustainable travel.
What Environmental Actions Are We Taking?
The aviation industry as whole has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2050, using the combined greener fuel, carbon offsets and developing in hydrogen and electric powered aircraft. And while new technologies are being developed, we are investing in offsets from Carbon Footprint, a certified and forward-thinking carbon offset provider. Every time we perform a flight the emissions are offset either by our client, or by Admiral Jet.
How Does Carbon Offsetting Work?
Our Partner, Carbon Footprint runs many projects around the world financed by organisations like us who want to offset their emissions. These projects include renewable energy generation, reducing deforestation and planting more trees. All the projects we support meet the international carbon offsetting standards and are rigorously inspected and audited to assure that they are generating the projected carbon reductions. Carbon “credits” are then issued against these projects for companies to purchase once these carbon savings have been verified, thus funding more environmental programmes. Carbon Footprint use their extensive experience to deliver programmes which are designed to make an impact, to be sustainable, improve the environment and look after our climate.
Which Programmes Are Admiral Jet Supporting?
Our Carbon Offset funding has been focussed on the planting of trees in the UK. The project mainly promotes planting trees in school locations, which has multiple benefits. Trees help to create a healthy environment for school children and at the same time educates those involved to understand the benefits of trees and support our precious wildlife habitats – all whilst sequestering carbon emissions.
