Sustainability - Carbon Tax Offsetting
Private Jets Global is committed to a long-term sustainability programme, dedicated to going far beyond just carbon offsetting and meeting industry standards. Our focus is on reducing the entire climate impact of our flying. We work with a specialist carbon offsetting consultancy and rating system for sustainability in aviation.
Through our sustainability programme, as a default we commit to every flight booked via Private Jets Global being both carbon and emissions neutral, via a 300% carbon offset.
Private Jets Global clients can also increase their commitment to sustainability by investing in Sustainable Aviation Fuel and world-leading research into sustainable flight technologies. We also offer a sustainability solution for anyone to offset their emissions, even if these are on flights or travel outside of Private Jets Global.
FAQs
What is Carbon Neutral & Carbon Offsetting?
Carbon offsetting is a process by which a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) or other greenhouse gases is achieved, in a specific measured project designed to compensate for CO2 emissions made elsewhere.
Carbon neutral means that the offsetting activity has achieved a verified reduction of carbon emissions that is equivalent to the level of CO2 emissions from the original activity. As CO2 emissions alone only account for around one third of the impact on the environment from flying, Private Jets Global sustainability programme makes a 300% offset contribution.
What is Emissions Neutral?
Emissions Neutral looks beyond carbon offsetting and undertakes offsetting at a higher level to take into account other aviation emissions, including water vapour, aerosols and nitrous oxide from contrails - which account for two thirds of the pollutants produced when flying. Private Jets Global offsets 300% of carbon emissions for every flight, to cover both carbon and these other emissions.
Do Private Jets Global flights include carbon offsetting?
Every flight booked through Private Jets Global is 300% carbon offset (and emissions neutral) as standard.
Are Private Jets Global flights carbon neutral?
Private Jets Global flights are carbon neutral and emissions neutral - which means the carbon emissions are calculated and offset to 300%, to account for both CO2 and other, non-CO2 emissions.
How does offsetting with Private Jets Global work?
Private Jets Global helps to fund projects in areas including forestry and renewable energy, by measuring carbon emissions from our flights and calculating the impact (to 300%). Carbon credits are then purchased in projects that are verified to industry leading standards and permanently retired on behalf of Private Jets Global and its clients. It is a seamless process for clients, Private Jets Global and our carbon offsetting partner work together to ensure the appropriate volumes of credits are acquired and retired for every flight.
Can I offset flights booked through other companies?
Yes, if you fly with other companies, we can calculate these emissions and help you offset all your flying.
Does my flight data get shared with anyone else?
All customer data is anonymised prior to sharing outside the organisation, in accordance with Private Jets Global privacy policy. Private Jets Global does not share any personally identifiable information and only shares enough information for our carbon offsetting partner to calculate and verify its flight activity.
Can I go further than 300% carbon offsetting?
Yes Private Jets Global enables you to further enhance the sustainability of your flying activity within our offsetting programme, by investing in Sustainable Aviation Fuel and world-leading research into cleaner flight technologies, via the Aviation Climate Fund (ACF). Talk to our team who can help to make those arrangements.
