Air BP is offering attendees at the 2016 NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference, which is being held this week in Tampa, Fla., the opportunity to offset the carbon footprint of their flights to and from the show free of charge. The initiative is being managed by BP Target Neutral, which invests in carbon credits that support low-carbon development projects around the world. Show attendees can visit the Air BP booth (No. 301) to have a company team member calculate their emission footprint created by the journey.
After the show, BP Target Neutral and Air BP will offset the total emissions generated by participating attendees by purchasing carbon credits. This is the first time that Air BP has offered this service in the U.S. and follows increased interest from the industry on the topic, the company said.
“We are pleased to welcome our colleagues from BP Target Neutral, who will help demonstrate to our aviation partners how we can reduce carbon emissions,” said Miguel Moreno, global marketing director for General Aviation at Air BP. “Environmental issues are a growing feature on our customer agenda. We are committed to supporting our operators, airport customers and colleagues in the aviation industry in their goal of working toward a lower carbon future.”
