Carbon Offsetting Your Travel

Sustainability efforts

As part of your overseas module, we are taking steps to align with Imperial’s sustainability efforts.

This includes working with suppliers that have existing sustainability policies, using public transportation in-country where possible, and not providing any single-use plastic on trips. For your own planning, please bring a reusable water bottle on the trip.

Carbon offsetting

We are also continuing our partnership with Profs Who Fly, an Imperial initiative begun by Professor Jem Woods in the Faculty of Natural Sciences. This carbon offsetting initiative is part of our sustainability suite of activities to encourage responsible travel.

Consider carbon offsetting your travel. You can make payment directly via this tool.

Profs Who Fly supports the Neno Macadamia Trust (NMT), an agroforestry charity that enhances agricultural resilience in Malawi through improved income and the provision of a nutritious crop (macadamia nuts) which is available when conventional crops are not and is more resilient to drought.

If you do carbon offset, please let us know! ibglobal@imperial.ac.uk.
