Finnair expands Push for Change CO2 offsetting including biofuel purchasing

In Finland, Finnair is expanding its Push for change CO2 offsetting service for customers, including both CO2 offsetting and biofuel purchasing. Air travelers can offset the CO2 emissions of their flight by supporting CO2 reduction projects, or decrease the CO2 emissions of their flights by purchasing biofuel.

“Last summer, we asked Finns how they view CO2 emissions, and carbon sinks were among the favourite alternatives for reducing the CO2 load,” says Arja Suominen, Senior Vice President for Communications and Corporate Responsibility at Finnair. “Our customers have also asked for domestic projects to be included into the Push for change service alongside the existing project in Mozambique, and we are delighted to be able to offer even more offsetting alternatives.”

The service is available on the Finnair Shop at www.finnairshop.com and customers can also use their Finnair Plus frequent flyer points for the service. Customer payments are directed in full to CO2 reduction projects and biofuel purchases.
