Climate protection and CO2 compensation through UTA Carbon Offset

From passenger cars and light commercial vehicles to HGVs, all vehicles emit greenhouse gases. UTA Carbon Offset, part of UTA Edenred's Move For Good programme, provides an easy way to reduce the CO₂footprint of your fleet, kilometer by kilometer. Using your UTA Card, the CO₂ emissions of your fleet is recorded per liter of fuel purchased, calculated monthly, and offset by investing in certified climate protection projects up to 100 percent. Projects are located in the European Union and beyond.

Your participation in UTA Carbon Offset will appear on your monthly UTA invoice. You will receive an annual emissions certificate as proof of the CO₂ offset of your fleet in the past year. In addition, you'll receive a marketing toolkit to promote your positive impact on the environment.

We make it easy for you to do something good for the environment with every vehicle in your fleet and with every kilometer you travel.

You'll get access to an online portal where you can view your fleet's monthly CO₂ emissions and corresponding investments in offset projects via a dashboard. You can also find a list of current projects there.

The portal also contains your annual CO₂ emissions offset certificate as well as a marketing toolkit that includes a Sustainability Guide for your fleet, a logo for your website, a template for press releases, and more.

UTA Carbon Offset complies with international carbon standards and registrations and is audited annually by an internationally-recognised auditing firm. The programme is administered through a partnership with PDI Technologies, a global sustainability service provider.

What is CO2 compensation?

CO₂offsets allow companies to offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by financing renewable energies, forest conservation and landfill projects.

We all generate CO₂emissions (also known as CO₂footprint) in our daily lives, some of which is unavoidable. To reduce these impacts, the UTA Carbon Offset Programme is based on three pillars: To reduce these impacts, the UTA Carbon Offset Programme is based on three pillars:

1. Calculation of CO₂ emissions

2. Emissions reduction

3. Compensation for unavoidable CO₂emissions via climate protection projects

What are CO2 certificates?

CO₂certificates are instruments that can be transferred between companies regardless of geographic premise. They are issued by governments and certified institutions and are designed to protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gases. UTA Edenred understands the importance of motivating drivers and fleet managers to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of their vehicles.
