How reused cooking oil supports our carbon neutrality
Reducing and offsetting our travel-related emissions has always been a key part of our sustainability strategy. We’ve achieved carbon neutrality since 2006 through continuous work to reduce emissions and invest in high-quality carbon offsets. Now we’ve developed a new avenue to address our staff’s travel emissions through sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) certificates.
We’re the first company to buy SAF certificates from British Airways—to reduce our staff’s business travel carbon footprint. The certificates represent the carbon reduction through the use of clean fuel—refined by Neste from used cooking oil—on British Airways flights.
These certificates enabled the purchase of enough sustainable aviation fuel to power over 90% of the distance traveled by our employees on IAG flights. That’s about 65 passenger journeys between our offices in London and our corporate headquarters in Virginia.
We’re working across the aviation and energy industries to help companies combat climate change and achieve their decarbonization targets. We provide them with sustainable answers to some of the world’s most difficult questions—offering our insights on the paths to a sustainable, low-emissions future.
