What is iBank Carbon Reporting?
There are five main CO2 calculations in iBank:
- Air CO2 Emissions estimates the number of lbs or kgs emitted during a flight.
- Alternate Car CO2 Emissions estimates the carbon emissions generated if the traveler chose to travel by car instead of airplane.
- Alternate Rail CO2 Emissions - estimates the carbon emissions generated if the traveler chose to travel by train instead of airplane.
- Car Rental CO2 Emissions estimates the carbon emissions generated if the traveler chose to travel by car rental and additional trip details are unknown.
- Hotel Booking CO2 Emissions estimates the carbon emissions generated by the traveler for each booked hotel night.
Carbon Calculators
Cornerstone works with several carbon reporting companies who provide us with their proprietary algorithms. These algorithms are then applied to your travel data to produce estimates of the carbon output from travelers' trips.
As different carbon reporting standards (e.g. DEFRA) are more widely recognized in different markets, iBank Carbon Reporting is designed to be able to incorporate different calculation methodologies to support your local needs.
Cornerstone’s carbon reports can be used "as-is" or the data in iBank can be easily exported to the carbon calculation firm of your choice for more comprehensive analysis.
