India's first carbon-neutral event for the aviation industry

India's first carbon-neutral event for the aviation industry

Climes partnered with Airbus 'Take off 2022' in Bengaluru to host India’s first carbon neutral event. Airbus worked with Climes to measure the event’s emissions and purchased carbon credits, or ‘Climes’, to neutralise them. 500 global Airbus delegates attended the event, and allocated Climes credits to the projects they wished to finance.

HOW WE DID IT

Calculating event emissions

Airbus worked with Climes to calculate the event’s total carbon footprint as well as the footprint per attendee.

At the event

On the day of the event, each delegate received 480 Climes - an amount equivalent to the average emissions per attendee. Delegates then engaged in a form of “democratised climate action” - working with Airbus to help the event achieve its carbon neutral goal.

1. Find the QR

Along with the event merchandise, attendees received a Climes card with a unique QR code.

2. Scan to Collect Climes

Attendees scanned the code to Claim their 480 climes (bought by Airbus).

3. Choose Projects

Attendees then chose which carbon reducing projects they wanted to finance with their Climes.

STEP 1 /

Signing up for Climes LITE

The Baker's Dozen had signed up on the easy-to-use dashboard, a one-stop shop for all their climate needs. The user-friendly platform provided them with access to the impact they had enabled on a monthly and historical basis, the projects their customers were supporting, marketing and communication references, billing and subscription details, along with a host of other features.

Purchasing Climes

STEP 2 /

The Baker's Dozen set aside a monthly climate budget and subscribed to Climes LITE, allowing them to earn Climes within the dashboard. These earned Climes were then used to support a diverse portfolio of carbon avoidance and removal projects across India, such as waste-to-fuel conversion, reforestation initiatives, and clean cookstove adoption in rural communities.

STEP 3 /

Gifting Climes to customers

The Baker's Dozen could create campaigns that generated QR codes or links. These codes and links led customers to a gamified voting page where they could select the project they wanted to support using their gifted Climes. They decided to allocate 500 Climes per customer for this purpose.

STEP 4 /

Communicating the impact

The Baker's Dozen distributed their QR code through a variety of offline and online campaigns. This strategy seamlessly integrated Climes LITE into the customer journey by printing the QR code directly on their product packaging. As a result, The Baker's Dozen achieved a remarkable 100% voting rate month on month.

But the cherry on top was this being the worlds first carbon neutral event. Airbus collaborated with Climes.io to neutralise the events emissions including that of every attendee. While we get closer to sustainable aviation, glad to also see a sustainable event.

Social Collectible

Attendees received a ‘shareable digital card’ upon allocating credits to their chosen projects. The card enabled attendees to talk about and share their experience of supporting climate action with Airbus. They were also given certificates for their participation in this first-of-its-kind, carbon neutral event.

Live update Dashboard

Live updates of the attendees’ project choices were displayed on a screen at regular intervals during the event. Delegates were able to see which projects their peers were choosing - and were motivated to participate in the group activity.

MatchLog, India’s leading container optimisation platform, is turning empty trips into avoided emissions by enabling the reuse of import containers for export directly. With over 6 years of experience and having matched over 2,00,000 containers, MatchLog has saved over 60mn empty kms and avoided over 36,000 tonnes of CO2.

Climes is helping MatchLog turn every trip a data-driven opportunity for climate action

  • Accurate carbon intelligence for every trip across road, rail, and sea modes to standardise emissions measurement

  • Integrated dashboard view of emissions avoided along with fuel saved, making climate impact as real as cost savings

  • Monthly reporting of emissions avoided embedded into their sustainability disclosures and customer communications that elevate MatchLog’s ESG credibility and market differentiation

Plug-and-Play Carbon Intelligence, Engineered for Logistics

Leveraging our experience in both technological and carbon accounting, we crafted a formula to address the complexities Matchlog faced.

STEP 1 /

Emissions Mapping

Mapped carbon emissions across three modes of transportation — truck, ship, and rail — for all containerised movement.

  • Accurate fuel, distance, and mode-based emissions factors were applied

  • Streamlined into a methodology that fits MatchLog’s product and reporting cycle

STEP 2 /

Carbon Avoidance Framework

Beyond just calculating emissions, we developed a framework to quantify avoided emissions from reduced empty return trips — a core efficiency driver for MatchLog.

  • We used geospatial data (Google Road API) and operational logic to model what emissions would have occurred in a typical empty return scenario

  • Then we benchmarked this against actual optimised journeys, calculating “emissions avoided” per matched container

STEP 3 /

Enabling Climate Storytelling

MatchLog is actively using certified, trip-level carbon avoidance data to elevate ESG disclosures, pitch narratives, and customer conversations — positioning themselves as a sustainability-forward logistics partner.
