The Company is currently seeking to offer its customers the possibility to engage against global warming, should they so desire. Following the roll-out of the CO2 emissions calculator used to evaluate the climatic impact of a flight, Air France has now gone a step further.

In partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation, Air France allows you to minimize your environmental impact by financing energy conservation or renewable energy projects in emerging countries by contributing to the voluntary offset of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) generated by your journey.

What exactly means offsetting?

To protect our planet, highest priority is to reduce GHG emissions generated by adopting economical and responsible lifestyles. Voluntary offsetting provides a response to so-called "irreducible" emissions.
