Estravel is the first travel agency in Estonia to Partner up with Gold Standard (CO2)

27.01.2025
Estravel

Estravel has become the first travel agency in Estonia to sign a partnership agreement with the Switzerland-based company Gold Standard, aiming to meet the growing demand of corporate customers for sustainable solutions, including carbon footprint off-setting.

Through our collaboration with Gold Standard, Estravel mediates off-setting of carbon footprint to our corporate customers. This allows businesses to contribute to various environmental projects worldwide while off-setting the emissions generated by their operations.

Gold Standard, an international verification and standard-setting organization established in 2003 by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), is one of the largest and earliest organizations offering flight carbon off-set services. Using the international standard developed by Gold Standard, Estravel calculates the flight miles and CO2 emissions generated by a company’s flights.

The carbon off-set service is based on the business customer’s flight miles and CO2 emissions. Using Gold Standard’s methodology, Estravel calculates the amount businesses can contribute to the environmental project of their choice. There are over 3,000 environmental projects available worldwide, ranging from renewable energy development and waste recycling to improving water systems in developing countries and other initiatives. Each business can choose a project that aligns with its values and goals.

By off-setting their flight miles, businesses receive a Gold Standard certificate, an internationally recognized document displaying the customer’s name, the supported project, and the contribution amount. This certificate can be used in the client’s ESG documentation, sustainability communication, and for meeting environmental requirements in public procurements.

If your company is Estravel’s corporate customer to whom environmental awareness is important and you wish to reduce the carbon footprint of your business travels, please contact our customer relations department at ariklientuur@estravel.ee for more detailed information.

Together we will find a solution and help you to achieve your sustainability goals!
