Program Overview
News Flash
In October 2011, the Qantas Group Carbon Offset Program was ranked #4 globally in an International Air Transport Association backed study of airline carbon offset programs. An outstanding result, as our journey of environmental improvement continues.
Overview
Join us in reducing the impact of carbon emissions on the environment. With Qantas' Fly Carbon Neutral program, you can offset your share of flight emissions for less than you'd think. We continue to contribute to this initiative by offsetting our own share of emissions from our employees' business flights and our ground vehicles.
Qantas is concerned about climate change and is committed to managing our operations in a more environmentally sustainable manner.
Qantas pays for all administrative costs associated with the program and all funds received from passengers are used to purchase Australian Government approved carbon offsets. We pass on all funds contributed and do not profit from this initiative.
We continue to carbon offset all emissions from our ground vehicles and our employees' business flights.
Keep travelling carbon neutral
The Australian Carbon Tax strengthens the incentive for the airline industry to reduce emissions over the long term, through action such as improving fuel efficiency and switching to Sustainable Aviation Fuels, but it does not offset your flight emissions today. If you as a passenger want to fly carbon neutral, you must offset the carbon emissions associated with your flights. We believe our Fly Carbon Neutral program offers a simple, effective and transparent way of achieving that outcome.
Certified by the Australian Government
We were the first airline to have our carbon offset program certified and independently verified under the Australian Government's National Carbon Offset Standard - Carbon NeutralTM program.
We Carefully Choose our Carbon Offsets
Our carbon offsets are purchased through Climate Friendly, who has been ranked as the number one carbon offset provider by the Carbon Offset Watch and is a founding member of the International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance.
