GBT is the world's leading business partner for managed travel, and understands the urgency needed to tackle climate change. That is why they have taken the initiative to partner with Carbon Footprint Ltd to offer their customers the chance to support high quality carbon offsetting solutions around the world.

Through GBT, companies can choose which offset activity they wish to support from a variety of project types, price points, and locations worldwide. Each available project is independently verified and validated by either the Verified Carbon Standard or the Gold Standard. Clients will receive a donation e-receipt for their payment amounts, as well as a customized e-certificate showing the quantity of carbon offsets purchased and retired with their donations.
