Business aircraft sales and acquisitions company Jetcraft has achieved carbon-neutral status through a partnership with Azzera, a carbon offsetting and compliance firm. Through the partnership, Jetcraft has removed 3,596 verified tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions—matching 100 percent of its own emissions—through investment in a variety of environmental projects. They include projects for forest conservation in North Carolina and Papua New Guinea, as well as wind power supplies in South Africa.
“It’s important to us and our clients that Jetcraft has a solid response to our environmental challenges,” said Jetcraft president Peter Antonenko. “With Azzera, we’ve gone beyond words and delivered a scheme that achieves total verified carbon neutrality across everything we do. We’re a global business and therefore our efforts must have a global impact, which is why we’re excited to be positively influencing climate projects in as many regions as possible.”
The London-based company’s carbon emissions have been certified and verified by a third-party audit and include International Civil Aviation Organization Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation-eligible offset measures.
