SWISS offers its customers to offset the CO2 emissions generated each time they travel by air. SWISS and Lufthansa have entered into a partnership with myclimate, the Swiss-based charitable foundation.

The airlines work with myclimate to calculate the cost of offsetting the volume of CO2 emissions that can be ascribed to each passenger on a flight. This “carbon offset” amount will be invested by myclimate in climate protection projects selected by SWISS. The foundation assures that this will save the same amount of CO2 as was generated by the passenger’s flight.

The certified projects all meet agreed international criteria. They carry the Gold Standard, which is currently the highest distinction for carbon offset projects. It applies eco-criteria devised by the WWF and other international environmental protection organisations. They guarantee that any project meets the highest sustainability requirements in both ecological and social terms.
