The Kolvidur Fund
The latest addition to our green efforts is a partnership with the Kolviður Iceland Carbon Fund, which brings our customers into the process of making air travel more environmentally friendly.
As a part of buying cargo from us, all of our customers can now choose to offset the carbon emissions generated by their portion of the flight
The objective of the Kolviður Fund is to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere by increasing the carbon sequestration of forest ecosystems , binding the soil and reducing soil erosion, increasing public awareness and the awareness of companies in regard to greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting education on related issues.
