Air Canada lansira svoj nov potovalni program LEAVE LESS

Air Canada announced today that Deloitte Canada will be the first corporate customer to participate in its new LEAVE LESS Travel Program, which offers corporate customers effective options to offset or reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to business travel and reduce their carbon footprint.

Korporativne stranke lahko zdaj kupijo trajnostna letalska goriva (SAF), ogljične izravnave ali kombinacijo obojega. The LEAVE LESS Potovalni program je ena izmed številnih obsežnih pobud, ki se izvajajo kot del podnebnega akcijskega načrta Air Canada, in dodaten korak k doseganju dolgoročnega cilja letalske družbe glede neto ničelnih emisij toplogrednih plinov do leta 2050.

“Building a long-term sustainable aviation industry requires a collective effort and companies will play a key role in building greener and more sustainable air travel. We are pleased to see that customers, such as Deloitte, are taking concrete actions by supporting and contributing to innovative solutions,” said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer at Air Canada.

»Zrak Kanada has made sustainability a core component of its business decisions. This initiative allows our corporate customers to offset or reduce the GHG emissions associated with their business travel and empowers their employees to make sustainable choices. With this, companies work towards their sustainability goals while they partner with us to advance decarbonization in the airline industry. Our new, industry-leading LEAVE LESS Travel Program shows our strong and ongoing commitment to transition to low carbon alternatives. It represents a meaningful step forward into reaching our ambitions to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.”

“Deloitte is steadfast in its commitments to address climate change by driving environmentally responsible choices within our organization and beyond,” said Anthony Viel, CEO at Deloitte Canada. “Our people and our clients know that stakeholders, customers, investors and shareholders desire more sustainable business strategies and we recognize the important role Canadian businesses collectively play in leading the commitment to transition to a low-carbon economy. We are thrilled to be the first company to jump on board this corporate program to accelerate adoption of a fuel source that can dramatically reduce emissions from aviation. By collaborating with Air Canada to increase the use of sustainable aviation fuel, we hope that we can inspire and help others contribute to a thriving Kanada and a greener world.”

Poenostavljeno, trajnostno potovanje

Potovalni program LEAVE LESS omogoča poslovnim strankam, da izberejo ponudbo, ki jo želijo, s prilagojenim pristopom z uporabo SAF, izravnave ogljika ali kombinacije obojega, s štirimi ključnimi ukrepi:

• Izračunaj: Air Kanada tracks and calculates the GHG emissions associated with customers’ business travel.
• Izberite: Stranke lahko izberejo, kako želijo ublažiti svoje emisije toplogrednih plinov, povezane s svojimi poslovnimi potovanji: SAF in/ali izravnave ogljika.
• Nakup:
  •  SAF
    Air Kanada purchases the required SAF volumes and to ensure the customer can claim the benefits of its investment, Air Canada will implement a SAF certification system in-line with industry-leading best practices.
  • Odmik ogljika:
    Air Kanada facilitates the purchase of carbon offsets
• Zmanjšaj: Stranka prispeva k njenim trajnostnim ciljem

Potovalni program LEAVE LESS podpira zavezanost letalske družbe ciljem trajnostnega razvoja Združenih narodov (SDG), zlasti cilju 13: podnebni ukrepi. Skozi svoje Podnebni akcijski načrt, se je letalska družba zavezala, da bo vložila 50 milijonov dolarjev v SAF ter zmanjšanje in odstranitev ogljika.

Potovalni program Air Canada LEAVE LESS bo SAF pridobil pri Nesteju, vodilnem proizvajalcu obnovljivih goriv. V čisti obliki in v življenjskem ciklu Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™ zmanjša emisije toplogrednih plinov iz letal do 80 % v primerjavi s fosilnim reaktivnim gorivom.

Air Canada podnebni akcijski načrt

Air Kanada has set ambitious climate targets to realize a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) throughout its global operations by 2050. To reach this, Air Canada has set absolute midterm GHG net reduction targets by 2030 in its air and ground operations compared to its 2019 baseline and has committed to investing $50 Million in SAF, and carbon reductions and removals.

Air Canada je s številnimi celovitimi pobudami za zmanjšanje svojega okoljskega odtisa zgradil trdne temelje na področju energetske trajnosti. Od leta 2016 je bilo izvedenih več kot 115 projektov učinkovite porabe goriva, ki so prispevali k več kot 145,000 t CO₂e shranjeno. Od leta 2016 je letalski prevoznik zmanjšal več kot 145,000 tCO₂e iz svojih zračnih operacij prek pobud za učinkovitost porabe goriva, vključno s sodelovanjem pri osmih letih na biogoriva s tekočo aktivno podporo razvoju SAF v Kanadi, vključno s sodelovanjem s kanadsko vlado pri razvoju politike za podporo kanadske industrije trajnostnega letalskega goriva.

V letih 2020 in 2019 je letališka uprava Vancouver Air Canada priznala zmagovalca YVR Green Excellence za zelene pobude na Sea Islandu, vključno z varčevanjem z vodo in energijo, zmanjševanjem količine odpadkov in čiščenjem obale oceana Richmond.
