Know your impact. Then do something about it.
With the carbon visibility feature, bookers can weigh up the impact before locking in a booking. Flights are tagged with real-time emissions data, taking into account the aircraft type and seat class. For ground transport, hybrid or electric options can be displayed as the default option, and hotels display their emissions data at the time of itinerary confirmation. If you need tighter control, filters can be applied to exclude high-emission options or prioritise preferred suppliers that support your sustainability policy.
- Book greener without adding steps
- Reinforce sustainability compliance
- Visual cues make low-impact choices easier
Offset automatically. Locally or globally.
Through the integrated offset program, bookers can view the total emissions, along with the calculated offset cost, at the time of booking. Then, after the trip is complete, offsets are automatically sent to one of our verified partners. This post-trip offsetting ensures that any changes or cancellations are considered, allowing companies to pay only for the travel that actually occurs. And when you need proof, reports, total offset volumes, and certificates are all easily accessible in one location.
- Local or global projects with tangible impact
- Applies to online and offline bookings
- Compliant with Australian and New Zealand sustainability standards
Frequently asked questions
-
What are carbon emissions?
Carbon emissions refer to the release of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere, often from burning energy and fossil fuels like petrol, diesel, and jet fuel.
-
What is carbon offsetting?
One carbon offset represents one metric tonne of greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon offsetting is the process of balancing out your emissions by funding projects that remove or reduce CO₂ elsewhere. Some examples include nature-based rehabilitation, wind farm projects, and fire management led by Aboriginal Traditional Landowners.
-
Is my carbon offsetting complaint?
FCM's integrated offsetting program and calculations comply with Climate Active in Australia and New Zealand's Ministry for the Environment (NZMFE) standards. Without this, companies often have to revalidate their emissions data with reporting authorities or check if their carbon programs use generic or European calculation methods to comply with local standards.
-
Who are FCMs offsetting partners?
FCM's partnership with offset provider, Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM), provides a reliable supply of verified offset programs. BlueHalo Climate Action Technology gathers the data and calculates the impact and cost of each offset.
-
Is offsetting mandatory?
No, it’s optional. But if your business has a sustainability policy, offsetting can help you stay on track and show tangible progress toward your goals.
-
What’s the benefit of post-trip offsetting?
It’s more accurate. You’ll only pay for what happened, removing estimates, and money wasted on cancelled trips.
-
Are both online and offline bookings covered?
Yes. Our offsetting solution applies to bookings made via FCM’s online booking tool and through your travel consultant.
