Your carbon offset contributions
Welcome! All Scoot customers, no matter where you are flying from, can contribute to a portfolio of verified carbon offset projects supported under the Singapore Airlines Group Voluntary Carbon Offset Programme.
Through this programme, we aim to empower our customers to learn more about the carbon emissions associated with their flights and allow them to play a part in caring for the environment and communities we serve by contributing to the projects.

How does carbon offsetting work?
Air travel is a fast and convenient way for us to travel long distances to connect people and economies. However, flying planes contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide.
Through the SIA Group Voluntary Carbon Offset Programme, Scoot customers have the option to make a voluntary purchase of independently verified carbon offsets for their flight and support accredited projects in Asia that prevent emissions from occurring.
To get started, calculate your carbon footprint using your flight details below. A contribution amount will be calculated based on the estimated carbon emissions generated by the trip, and payment can be made securely on this page. Contributions can be made anytime – before or after your flight.
100% of your voluntary contributions go directly towards sourcing, supplying, retiring, and accounting of verified carbon offsets from a portfolio of projects in Asia. Each project is independently verified according to international standards, ensuring real and measurable impact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Carbon offsetting allows individuals to reduce their environmental impact. By purchasing independently verified carbon offsets, travellers support environmental projects that remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere (such as planting forests) or prevent future emissions from occurring (such as replacing a coal-fired power station with a wind farm). One unit of carbon offset represents one metric tonne of greenhouse gas emissions reduced or removed from the atmosphere.
We have calculated the emissions for each Scoot flight, and as a passenger you can offset your share of these emissions. The emissions for each flight are calculated on a per-passenger basis. Once you offset your flight, the equivalent number of carbon offsets will be purchased and retired by TEM in order to balance out your share of the flight’s emissions.
Scoot only purchases carbon offsets from projects that are verified at the highest international standards and are either already compliant or finalising compliance under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), which is governed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Projects are verified by an independent third-party like the Verified Carbon Standard Program and the Gold Standard, who ensure each project meets strict criteria to deliver measurable and permanent emissions reductions additional to a business-as-usual scenario. Following compliance with the relevant third-party, the project is then issued with carbon offsets, each has a unique serial number. For instance, if the project demonstrated a reduction in emissions of 1,000 tonnes, they would be issued with 1,000 carbon offsets. Once Scoot purchases carbon offsets from a project, they are then retired, ensuring the offset cannot be traded again, and completing the carbon offset cycle for the traveller.
