In this article, we'll cover what goes into the calculation and what data points we base our calculations on.
How we calculate your travel emissions
To make sure that we can help you track and reduce your travel emissions, we calculate the full emissions on every trip booked through the Goodwings platform, or logged in our travel log.
To calculate your travel emissions, we use principles produced by the GHG Protocol. They provide the Corporate Accounting and Reporting standard that is used by major companies worldwide.
Our current dataset is based on DEFRA’s greenhouse gas reporting conversion factors.
We use this data to calculate the emissions
from each part of your trip.
We base your calculations on the following data points:
- Distance traveled
- Method of transportation
- The number of people traveling
- The number of nights
- We include 3 meals a day pr. person
- Ticket class for flights
- Fuel type for cars
