I-Air New Zealand kunye nabathengi bayo bathenga ngaphezulu kwe-NZD $ 1 yezigidi zeerandi zekhabhoni ezivela kwiiprojekthi ezingamahlathi zaseNew Zealand ngokusisigxina ngenkqubo ye-airline yokuzikhethela, iFlyNeutral.
Inkqubo iphinde yasungulwa ngasekupheleni kuka-2016 inika abathengi beenqwelomoya ukuba bakwazi ukucima ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni okunxulunyaniswa neenqwelomoya zabo xa babhukisha kwi-Intanethi. Iimali eziqokelelweyo zonke ziya ngqo ekuthengeni iikhredithi zekhabhoni eziqinisekisiweyo, ezinceda ekususeni ikhabhoni emoyeni.
Iikhredithi zekhabhoni zithengwa kuluhlu lweeprojekthi ezisisigxina zehlathi ezibhaliswe kuRhulumente waseNew Zealand phantsi kwePermanent Forest Sink Initiative, nakwizandla ezimbalwa zeprojekthi zamandla ezizinzileyo. Amahlathi abekwe ngaphesheya kweNew Zealand, ukusuka eNorthland, ukuya kwiiChatham Islands, ukuya kwiBhunga lesiXeko saseWellington kwiOuter Green Belt kunye naseHinewai Reserve kwiBhanki Peninsula.
U-Lisa Daniell oyiNtloko yoQinisekiso loMoya e-New Zealand uthi uyonwabile ukuba inqwelo moya ikwazile ukubonelela ngeqonga labathengi ukuba bathathe uxanduva olukhulu lokususa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokuxhasa ukutshala kwamahlathi eNew Zealand.
“Siyavuya ukubona le nkqubo ifikelela kweli nqanaba lokuqala nenkxaso yabathengi bethu. Utshintsho lwemozulu ngumcimbi ongxamisekileyo wehlabathi, kwaye njengenqwelomoya, siyazi ukuba kufuneka sidlale eyethu indima ekufumaneni izisombululo. Ukubonelela abathengi bethu ngendlela elula yokususa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni okunxulunyaniswa nokuhamba komoya yenye yeendlela zokwenza oku.
“Njengakuyo nayiphi na le nto ingaka linyathelo eliya kwicala elilungileyo. Kunyaka ophelileyo siye sahlawula iitoni ezingama-8,700 XNUMX zekhabhon egameni labo bonke abasebenzi bethu abebesiya emsebenzini, kwaye kuyacaca ukuba singathanda ukubona abahambi abaninzi nangakumbi, kuquka abahambi kwezamashishini, bezibandakanya nathi ekupheliseni ukukhutshwa kwazo kwixesha elizayo. ”
Amahlathi asisigxina i-NZ Partner u-Ollie Belton uthi inkqubo ye-Air New Zealand yeFlyNeutral iyanceda ekwenzeni intengiso eyomeleleyo yamahlathi emveli ngokusisigxina kunye nokwakha ukuqonda ngakumbi ngokubaluleka kokwenza iNew Zealand engcono kwizizukulwana ezizayo.
“Iiprojekthi zamahlathi emveli ezikhethwe ukuba zisetyenziswe ngaphakathi kwipotifoliyo yeFlyNeutral zimele ukuhlawulwa kwekhabhoni ye-premium ethi ukongeza ekunciphiseni ifuthe lokutshintsha kwemozulu, inokuphucula ulondolozo kwaye iphinde inyuse nolondolozo loluntu kunye nolonwabo ngenxa yesigxina. Kube mnandi kakhulu ukusebenza neAir New Zealand kunye nabanini mhlaba ukuze babenakho ukujonga nokuxhasa ezi projekthi. ”
Inkqubo ye-FlyNeutral yokuzikhethela ye-airline ye-airline ihamba ngaphezulu nangaphaya koxanduva lokulawula ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni phantsi kweNkqubo yokuRhweba ngeMisi yaseNew Zealand, edibana neAir New Zealand.
Ukusukela ngo-2018 i-Air New Zealand yabathengi kunye nabathengi bakwazile ukulungisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni phantsi kwenkqubo. Inqwelo moya ikwasusa nezinto ezikhutshwayo egameni labasebenzi abahambela umsebenzi.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- U-Lisa Daniell oyiNtloko yoQinisekiso loMoya e-New Zealand uthi uyonwabile ukuba inqwelo moya ikwazile ukubonelela ngeqonga labathengi ukuba bathathe uxanduva olukhulu lokususa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokuxhasa ukutshala kwamahlathi eNew Zealand.
- Carbon credits are purchased from a range of permanent native forest projects registered with the New Zealand Government under the Permanent Forest Sink Initiative, and from a handful of international sustainable energy projects.
- Last year we offset 8,700 tonnes of carbon on behalf of all our employees who travelled for work, and we'd obviously love to see even more travelers, including business travelers, join us in offsetting their emissions in the future.
