At Virgin Atlantic, sustainability means change. Changing how we engage with communities in which we operate; how we fly our planes; how we work with our suppliers; how we get our staff and customers involved; and, most of all, changing how we think about flying in a lower carbon world.
Find out more about the Virgin Atlantic "Change is in the Air" sustainability programme WHAT IS IT?
Aside from finding ways to produce less CO2 in the first place - you can also pay to offset the carbon emissions you do make. It’s simple: you pay a fee to an offsetting company who use the money to remove the amount of CO2 you produce. OUR SCHEME
Our Gold Standard Scheme is in partnership with myclimate - a Swiss based charity who fund clean energy solutions, especially in developing countries.
Endorsed by 47 NGOs worldwide including many environmental groups, Gold Standard methodology was created to encourage a shift from a fossil fuel based economy to a renewable energy economy. This just means your money is going directly to a project which has immediate positive impact on the environment and the local community.  Find out more about Gold Standard & Our Projects. GET INVOLVED!
We have had the carbon footprint of each of our flights independently verified. We have then worked out how much this equates to per passenger, depending on where you sit on the plane. Have a look at your carbon footprint here.
