CWT and Etihad have entered a partnership to drive a carbon-offset
initiative for CWT client bookings made on Etihad-operated flights. It
will be calculated using ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculations methodology.
From 1 January to 31 March 2022, this initiative will see
contributions going to Etihad’s official carbon-offset climate action
programmes in Makame Savannah REDD project in Tanzania; Peru’s
Cordillera Azul National Park; and Indonesia’s Katingan Mentaya Project.
Beyond this, CWT and Etihad will continue to collaborate in promoting
the carbon-neutral agenda to deliver tangible carbon footprint
solutions.
CWT is the launch partner for Etihad’s Corporate Conscious Choices
programme, which is designed with rewards and incentives to support
pro-environmental, social and governance initiatives and employee
behaviour.
Last year, the aviation industry had highlighted a need for airlines
to adopt carbon-neutral goals as travellers increasingly demand
eco-friendly options.
