LAN Peru neutralized its emissions equivalent to 7,000 tons of CO,. The scope of the carbon footprint measurement considered all activities that generate direct and indirect Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, such as emissions derived from air operations, air conditioning equipment, office electrical energy consumption, ground equipment that consumes gasoline and diesel, and emissions derived from employee transportation and business air travel.

In 2010, afirma’s “Environment” area began measuring its carbon footprint in order to reduce the environmental impact of its operations. The measurement of the corporate carbon footprint was carried out under the GHG Protocol standards.
The verification of the carbon footprint was carried out by the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR), while the neutralization was achieved through the purchase of certified CO2 capture bonds from a reforestation project with native species in Ucayalli. Peru, of the company Bosques Amazónicos (SAM), thus fulfilling all the requirements for the “CO Neutral” certification under the international standard SOX Bols de Clima de Santiago.
LAN has defined for 2020 the complete measurement, verification and neutralization of its terrestrial carbon footprint in all countries where it operates in South America.
