Once you’ve opted in to GreenPerk, you’ll be charged per trip taken. GreenPerk has a fixed price per ton of CO₂ of €10 (charged per your local currency).
Prices per trip will depend on your travel choices (for example, trains emit less CO₂ than planes). On average, the price is 1% of the total trip cost to offset 100% of the carbon emissions. This average has been calculated based on a flight from London to Barcelona, including a two-night stay in a standard hotel.
You’ll be charged per trip taken for every tonne of CO₂ your travel emits.
You can monitor all your CO2 emissions by accessing the CO2 reporting page within the TK platform.
No, GreenPerk offsets the carbon emissions for all of your business travel across – air, rail, car & hotel.
Yes, you can opt out of GreenPerk once every quarter.
The short answer to this is that the quality of the projects that are being invested in plays a big role on the price. Prices can fluctuate based on region, market conditions, and the certification program.
Every customer who is part of GreenPerk will receive a certificate and badge to show that they are part of our offsetting program. However, this is not an official document.
Currently, contributions to GreenPerk may be tax-deductible. Please consult with a tax advisor to make sure that your local tax regulations permit deductions from contributions to Corporate Income Tax.
We calculate the carbon footprint using our in-house tool GreenPerk API. All footprint calculations comply with the standard set by the World Resource Institute: GHG Protocol for Corporate Accounting.
GreenPerk is available for TravelPerk clients.
