Turkish Airlines has launched a new programme called Co2mission as part of efforts to balance the emissions caused by all business trips of the company’s personnel.

The Turkish airlines Co2mission page, which stated its operations on August 1 this year, offers numerous portfolio options of carbon offset with environmental and communal benefits such as renewable energy and forestation.

Passengers aiming to offset the emission of their flight can do so by contributing their desired amount to the project portfolio of their choice, thus purchasing emission reduction certification accredited by the United Nations.

Speaking on the Co2mission, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat said that the company was taking the initiative to combat climate change which stands at the forefront of today’s global problems.

While highlighting that the projects supported by the carbon offset programme would also show their heartfelt commitment to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Bolat said that the airline will soon add another project to its sustainability-focused projects, which are proving themselves with successful results.

“The decision to implement this programme is the result of our desire to conduct all our operations responsibly. I am sure that our passengers will also show great interest in the program with the knowledge that all of us are responsible for this beautiful world we share,” Bolat was quoted as saying.

As for the guests, Bolat said that they would be able to fly more environmentally conscious voluntarily and that with the programme, the national flag carrier will ensure carbon offset becomes achievable and practical for anyone with environmental awareness.
