Malaysia Airlines is elevating its commitment to sustainability with the launch of the Malaysia Airlines Corporate Carbon Programme, making it the first airline in Malaysia to introduce such an initiative.
This innovative initiative is designed to empower corporate customers, focusing on business travellers, by providing a comprehensive platform to understand and offset the carbon emissions associated with their travel.
In a strategic move towards fostering environmental responsibility, Malaysia Airlines continues to work with climate tech company CHOOOSE to power the Corporate Carbon Programme.
This marks a significant expansion following the airline’s successful voluntary carbon offset programme launched in June 2023.
The Malaysia Airlines Corporate Carbon Programme goes beyond traditional carbon offsetting by offering corporate clients the opportunity to support certified climate projects.
Soon, the programme will extend its offerings to include Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) credits, allowing corporate clients to actively contribute to sustainable aviation practices.
The Malaysia Airlines Corporate Carbon Programme will enable corporate clients to access their own company portal where they can estimate and manage their carbon footprints more accurately.
Additionally, they can contribute towards projects that are removing or reducing carbon emissions around the world. Through this programme, companies can also view detailed analytics on emission trends, access in-depth carbon project content, and track their cumulative support for selected climate projects, while addressing their Scope 3 emissions.
Philip See, Group Chief Sustainability Officer at Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, “Extending our carbon programme to our corporate customers reaffirms MAG’s commitment to meeting net-zero targets and address carbon emissions; empowering corporate clients to take part in our sustainability journey in a meaningful way.
“We look forward to complementing the support of certified climate projects with the option to support SAF in the near future, recognising the crucial role it will play in decarbonising the aviation industry. By leveraging technology and partnerships, we hope to drive meaningful change in aviation guided by the MAG Sustainability Blueprint.”
Andreas Slettvoll, CEO at CHOOOSE, said, “It’s an honour to support Malaysia Airlines in growing their carbon programme to include not only individual travellers, but also corporate customers.
“If the aviation industry is to successfully decarbonise by 2050, it’s crucial for airlines to employ multi-faceted programmes—and it’s encouraging to see Malaysia Airlines put an emphasis on sustainability by expanding their programme.
“Additionally, we look forward to enabling the support of SAF through both the Malaysia Airlines Passenger Carbon Programme and Corporate Carbon Programme next.”
The programme reflects Malaysia Airlines’ dedication to sustainability, aligning with global initiatives for an environmentally conscious aviation industry.
The airline invites corporations to join this collective effort of addressing climate change by reaching out to their Corporate Relationship Manager or log on to the MHbiz PRO portal at mhbizpro.malaysiaairlines.com.
