London, UK – 22 April 2024 – Cirium, the global leader in aviation data analytics, has formed a strategic partnership with Trees4Travel, a pioneer in merging technology with business objectives to further environmental sustainability.  This collaboration boosts the travel industry’s ability to make environmentally friendly decisions by offering accurate insights into air travel emissions, both during the booking process and for ESG reporting.

The partnership is centered around the introduction of Cirium’s Emerald Sky, a groundbreaking and fully auditable aircraft emissions platform.

Unlike traditional carbon calculators relying on assumptions and estimates, Emerald Sky utilizes cutting-edge techniques and Cirium’s access to exclusive data to precisely calculate the fuel consumption and CO₂ output of aircraft. It meticulously considers crucial factors including specific aircraft and engine configuration, age, flight duration (both physical taxi and airtime), and passenger and cargo load, providing a comprehensive calculation based on fuel burn as opposed to distance estimates. This precision in measuring aircraft CO₂ emissions offers stakeholders valuable insights for developing far more effective CO₂ reduction strategies.

Through this partnership, corporations will have the ability to modify travel practices by choosing flights with lower carbon emissions, which in turn helps reduce the environmental impact of business travel. It supports streamlined reporting on environmental efforts and accurately tracks progress towards achieving significant carbon reductions . As a result, Trees4Travel corporate customers can make smarter travel decisions, enhance their environmental disclosures and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, and effectively benchmark their progress.

Trees4Travel is dedicated to promoting sustainable practices within the travel and events industries, encouraging a shift towards more regenerative operations. Cirium is committed to leading the aviation industry towards a net-zero emissions future by 2050 through dependable, independent emissions analysis

This partnership is a critical milestone in Cirium’s mission to provide the most comprehensive and accurate flight emissions tracking in the industry.

Jeremy Bowen, CEO of Cirium

“Cirium has significantly invested in the development of Emerald Sky, an advanced platform that leverages schedule information from over 900 airlines, updated 280,000 times daily, and fully auditable.”

You cannot reduce what you do not measure – this collaboration takes carbon management to another level.

Nico Nicholas, CEO of Trees4Travel

‘We are absolutely delighted to offer Cirium’s leading technology – with the number of global air passengers expected to increase significantly over the next 30 years, together with corporate sustainability reporting regulations coming in thick and fast, Cirium’s scrupulous flight analytics being offered within our existing carbon calculators allows us to offer a whole suite of ultra sophisticated tools to measure emissions, from scope 1 to scope 4 (soon!). An important ‘string to our bow’ for both us and our TMC partners, backing that up with our nature and tech hybrid decarbonization programs means we have a world changing environmental offer’ says CEO Nico Nicholas of Trees4Travel.
