13 June, 2022

New Zealand based enviro-tech company, CarbonClick announces a new partnership with leading travel technology provider, Amadeus.

The rollout of a voluntary carbon offsetting programme, first to New Zealand, Australia and Singapore will then be followed with other key markets.

The solution will ultimately be deployed to travel agents across the globe on the Amadeus Selling Platform Connect and direct to travellers via Amadeus Dynamic Travel Documents.

The partnership marks another positive step toward taking transformative action on a global scale by adding both a business and customer offering to a growing suite of sustainability actions.

Olivier Girault, VP, Sustainability Ecosystem Initiatives, Amadeus says, “At Amadeus, we recognize that sustainability in the travel industry is a global challenge and, by definition, we need to work collaboratively to provide global solutions. In this context, Amadeus has been reinforcing its strategy to address environmental concerns, especially in cooperation with
industry stakeholders.

The launch of our partnership with CarbonClick demonstrates such commitment, where our
travel agency platforms now enable agents to provide a high-trust carbon offsetting opportunity to their clients.”

The offset programme is available to Amadeus users through a simple, easy to use portal

The portal will provide a quick and easy way for agents to calculate the carbon offset for the trip being booked, the value of that offset and associated carbon offset receipt.

As part of the partnership, travellers who receive a travel itinerary from within Amadeus Dynamic Travel Documents, will also have the opportunity to offset their flight’s carbon footprint via https://traveller.carbon.click/offset.

CarbonClick CEO Dave Rouse says, “The CarbonClick partnership with Amadeus offers a high-trust, transparent offsetting option to enable more climate-friendly travel. With just one long haul flight having the potential to make up around 25% of an individual’s total annual carbon footprint, the opportunity to participate in reducing the impact of this footprint through the travel purchasing channel is both relevant and impactful.”

The partnership with CarbonClick presents agents and travellers with a way to take instant and positive climate action to benefit both people and the planet. With the partnership delivering immediate benefits to a selection of verified carbon offsetting projects that focus on clean energy and reforestation.

Travellers can track and trace their contributions to the specific projects. CarbonClick Dave Rouse says, “Not only is this best practice and the right thing to do, but it also elevates trust through the integrity of the process and the projects.”

CarbonClick is a B-Corp certified company that has established itself as a global leader in high-trust carbon offsetting and enabling positive climate action. With leading airlines and airports as clients, this latest partnership with Amadeus extends the reach toward climate-friendly travel across another touchpoint in the purchasing process.
