  2007-08-28 Tricorona and Ark Travel partner on carbon offsettingTRICORONA AND ARK TRAVEL ANNOUNCE TODAY THE LAUNCH OF A SERVICE TO OFFSET THE CLIMATE IMPACT OF BUSINESS TRAVEL WITH KYOTO-CERTIFIED CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION PROJECTS Ark Travel, one of Scandinavia’s leading travel agencies, can now offer its customers a service to calculate the emissions and climate impact associated with their travel, and to offset this impact with renewable energy projects. Investments in renewable energy contribute to reducing global dependence on fossil fuels. ”Climate issues are becoming more and more important, and we are seeing increasing demand for offsetting services. We are now able to meet that demand,” says Susanna Bervå, CEO for Ark Travel. “We chose Tricorona because we needed a trustworthy partner that shares our focus on quality.” The carbon projects available are all certified under the ”Clean Development Mechanism” of the Kyoto Protocol, and they are also compatible with the criteria of the Gold Standard, a voluntary quality standard for carbon reduction projects developed by a consortium of NGOs, including WWF International and Greenpeace International. ”There is a growing awareness of carbon offsetting as one of many measures that are necessary to combat climate change. It’s important, however, to do it in a sustainable way,” says Per Egstam, Head of Climate Neutralisation at Tricorona. ”By measuring climate impact conservatively, and using only projects that are certified under the Kyoto Protocol, we can offer the market an offsetting service of the highest quality.” Tricorona Climate Partner offers its customers a complete package of climate-related services, including climate audits, advice on abatement measures and offsetting with high quality, certified projects.
