We are now a Carbonzero Certified organisation, and part of a collective of organisations leading the way to a low carbon future.
Sustainability Framework.
We continue to refresh and evolve our sustainability framework. This year our primary focus was on recalibrating the environmental, social and governance topics we believe are most material to our business and stakeholders.
You can find detail around our approach to sustainability on the Sustainability page of our Investor Centre website.
Net zero carbon emissions target
In FY22, we began a process to assess our carbon impact with a view to creating an emissions reduction pathway to deliver a net zero target. This involved measuring, auditing and subsequently offsetting our carbon emissions.
We engaged Toitu Envirocare, an organisation based in New Zealand, to assist us in this process. Toitu Envirocare actively participated in the development of the leading international standards in greenhouse gas measurement and reduction. Their certifications meet and exceed the requirements of ISO standards and ensure consistent and comprehensive reporting, benchmarking and management under international best practice.
Throughout FY23, we worked with Toitu Envirocare to measure, audit and subsequently offset our carbon emissions. Having completed a baseline audit for calendar year 2021 and offset our emissions through the purchase of carbon credits, Webjet is now a Toitū ‘net carbonzero’ certified organisation.
The Toitū net carbonzero program is accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) and was the world’s first program to be accredited under ISO 14065. This allows Toitu to issue certification against ISO 14064-1, ISO 14067, and PAS 2050 and means the Toitū net carbonzero certification mark is recognised in over 60 countries through the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
Our commitment to a net zero carbon emissions target will see the Webjet Limited group measure, manage reduce and offset our carbon footprint on an annual basis.
The Web Travel Group is proud to support 40:40 Vision to achieve gender balance in senior leadership by 2030.
WebBeds partners with BeCause – a sustainability technology start-up transforming how companies in travel manage their sustainability data – to scale up the number of properties tagged as ‘eco-certified’ on WebBeds booking platforms.
