FCS-IndiGo Partnership
In February 2014 the Fair Climate Network entered into a partnership with IndiGo, India's largest domestic airline, to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG). Under this Agreement, IndiGo encourages its passengers to reduce their carbon footprint. Passenger Contributions are used to fund a series of Carbon reducing initiatives in villages across the country. The next time you book your ticket, you too can contribute ₹ 100 and help make a difference.
FCN-IndiGo ERPA's
Under an Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA), IndiGo purchased 97,896 yet-to-be-generated CERs from CROSS for a total of ₹ 11.17 crore (average price ₹ 1,141 per CER) on behalf of its Passengers. These CERs will not be traded in the International Carbon Market; they will be retired in the UNFCCC Retirement Registry. Thereby IndiGo will facilitate Passengers make a real and absolute contribution to GHG reduction, while at the same time promoting sustainable development for rural households.
In January 2015, IndiGo purchased yet another 66,523 CERs under a similar ERPA with Accion Fraterna for a total of ₹ 8.5 crore (average price ₹ 1,277 per CER).
In June 2016, IndiGo purchased yet another 69,661 CERs under a similar ERPA with SUVIDHA for a total of ₹ 7.5 crore (average price ₹ 1,078 per CER).
