Stand out in the
battle for talent

Our Base subscription is based on an average of 5,838 commuting miles per employee per year and average business air travel, which is about 13,000 miles per year, per traveler (the equivalent to one roundtrip flight from San Francisco to London plus a roundtrip flight from New York City to Chicago).

In addition to our Base subscription, the Essential subscription is based on average annual U.S. per capita emissions. That means we go above and beyond work-related emissions, like commuting or office electricity use, and include emissions from personal activities, like normal purchases, driving and other transportation, food choices, and home fuel and electricity use, among others.

In addition to our Essential subscription, the Enhanced subscription also covers average business air travel, which is about 13,000 miles per year, per business traveler. This is equivalent to one roundtrip flight from San Francisco to London plus a roundtrip flight from New York City to Chicago.

For the Essential subscription, provided you include your entire workforce, you can claim a carbon neutral team. For the Enhanced subscription, you can claim a carbon neutral team and say that you’ve offset your air travel emissions. But be sure to share the underlying assumptions along with these statements. If you exclude workers, like contractors or part-time staff, add this to your disclaimer. Transparency is the best policy when it comes to carbon offsets. If you know that your emissions per business traveler exceed the national average, we recommend you claim that you’ve offset a portion of your flight emissions.

Example 1: Our team is carbon neutral.*

*Based on average 2018 trade-adjusted U.S. per capita emissions. Includes all full-time employees for the period from January 1 – December 31, 2021.

‍Example 2: Our team is carbon neutral, and we offset our business air travel emissions.*

*Our carbon neutral team claim is based on average 2018 trade-adjusted U.S. per capita emissions. Includes all full-time employees for the period from January 1 – December 31, 2021. We offset full-year 2021 air travel emissions based on average U.S. emissions per business traveler according to 2019 data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation.

We evaluated U.S. per capita CO2 emissions under the production-based model, the consumption-based model, and CO2e emissions including land use changes. The most recent available data is from 2019, though we had to extrapolate national consumption-based emissions from 2018 per capita, production-based and consumption-based data and 2019 per capita and production-based data. We then calculated 2018 and 2019 per capita emissions based on 2018 and 2019 national emissions. A 3.3% reduction in per capita CO2 emissions in 2019 compared to 2018 could be attributable to the coronavirus pandemic. We therefore selected the highest of the three per capita values (2018, trade-adjusted).  For business air travel, we used 2019 data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation to determine total passenger miles and U.S. passengers. Based on spend, business travel comprises 12% of commercial airline travel. We determined that, on average, U.S. business travelers fly just under 13,000 miles per year. Our air travel emissions include radiative forcing and uplift.
