GREEN FLIGHT
At UNIGLOBE Travel, being environmen-
tally friendly is almost as high a priority as
customer service. Each region of the organi-
zation has their own version of the program
to help offset carbon footprints and green-
house gas emissions. “We recognize the trav-
el industry has been a real focal point for en-
vironmental awareness and carbon emissions
over the past five-plus years. Consumers are
increasingly conscious about the choices
they make and their impact on the world,”
Henry says.
“We can provide them the information
they need to know on what options are bet-
ter than others,” he continues. “We provide
them with data that shows them what their
total emissions are for their travel during the
month.”
The Green Flight Program that the
Vancouver-based UNIGLOBE Travel
(Western Canada) offers, allows passengers
to purchase carbon credits in order to offset
a portion of the CO2 that is emitted by an
aircraft during their flight.
