Customers Can Contribute
The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) has hailed KLM as “best in class” of all the major airlines in the world for its efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. We owe this status, in part, to our customers, because they too can now make a contribution. We want to make it even easier for them to do so.
KLM offers passengers through its CO2ZERO service the opportunity to compensate for their share of the CO2 emissions by way of Gold Standard projects. WWF and KLM have signed an agreement to this effect. The Gold Standard ensures that compensatory funds are effectively invested in projects using sustainable energy, primarily in developing nations. Because of CO2ZERO early 2009 the construction started of a wind farm on the isle of Bonaire. By making this possible, KLM hopes to raise broader awareness for the harmful effects of flying, as well as stimulate compensation for such effects.
