News / Southwest Airlines launches carbon offset offer with Rapid Rewards bonus points and company contribution match
Southwest provides first U.S.-based airline carbon offset offer with loyalty points and contribution match to offset its carbon emissions
Southwest Airlines Co. has partnered with CHOOOSETM to launch a carbon offset offer that allows Customers to earn 10 Rapid Rewards® bonus points per dollar contributed to help Southwest® offset its carbon emissions, up to a maximum of 500 Rapid Rewards bonus points per month*. Starting October 21st, Customers can contribute funds for the purchase of offsets for Southwest at Southwest.com/wannaoffsetcarbon, and for every dollar a Customer contributes toward offsetting carbon emissions, Southwest will match the contribution**.
When a Customer contributes funds, those funds will be used to purchase carbon offsets sourced from global projects that reduce or avoid carbon emissions, including those that protect land that could otherwise undergo significant commercial timber harvesting or avoid unplanned deforestation and degradation.
Southwest's carbon offset offer is one part of the Company's 10-year plan to maintain carbon neutrality to 2019 levels while continuing to grow its operations. In addition to offsetting, the Company plans to continue modernizing its fleet with more fuel efficient aircraft in its operation and support the development of sustainable aviation fuel.
