LeasePlan partners with Land Life Company

LeasePlan Corporation has signed an agreement at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco with Land Life Company to help LeasePlan customers make their trips carbon neutral.

Under the partnership, LeasePlan customers will be able to offset their fleet emissions through Land Life Company’s reforestation programme. Land Life Company works in the sustainable and technology-driven reforestation of degraded land in the EU and US.

LeasePlan has committed to offsetting carbon emissions from its employee fleet until 2021, when the company’s employee fleet is scheduled to be completely electric. LeasePlan is also targeting net zero emissions from its serviced fleet by 2030. The announcement comes as business leaders meet in San Francisco to discuss the next steps in the global fight against climate change.

Tex Gunning, CEO of LeasePlan, said, ‘Cutting emissions will not be enough to keep global warming in check. Greenhouse gases must also be scrubbed from the air. By partnering with Land Life Company, we can offer our customers the opportunity to make every one of their trips carbon neutral. Collectively, we have a carbon debt that needs to be repaid and, with 1.8 million vehicles on the road, we can make a big and positive impact to the climate change challenge.’
