What is Reduce My Footprint?

Reduce My Footprint is a carbon reduction programme set up by ABTA, The Association of British Travel Agents, with the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO). It is facilitated and operated by CarbonOffsetsLtd.

Reduce My Footprint offers individuals and businesses the opportunity to offset residual carbon emissions through Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), Verified Emission Reductions (VERs), and projects managed by The Travel Foundation - and, in the case of businesses, TICOS. Some of these projects offer carbon reduction; others are linked to sustainable development programmes in tourism destinations.

The work of Reduce My Footprint is overseen by a supervisory board and an observers' group.

Currently we have a broad spread of advisors including representatives of ABTA, AITO, FTO (Federation of Tour Operators), Carbon Offsets Ltd, The Travel Foundation, TICOS, The Converging World, Sunvil Ltd, Forum for the Future and Manchester Metropolitan University Centre for Aviation Technology and Environment.

Will I get anything from Reduce My Footprint?

Yes, for individuals and users of our online payment system, we'll send you a certificate by email, saying how much you've offset and stating that this amount has been removed from the relevant registry. For businesses, bespoke certificates reflecting the particular contribution of your business can be provided.
