Despegar, headquartered in Argentina (AR), has not publicly disclosed specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year. However, the company has established significant climate commitments aimed at achieving net-zero emissions for its administrative and commercial operations in Argentina. These initiatives focus on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with a target timeframe from 2023 to 2025. To offset its emissions, Despegar is implementing a tree-planting programme called “Bosque Despegar,” in collaboration with the NGO Plantarse. This initiative is designed to neutralise emissions through reforestation efforts, although specific reduction percentages have not been detailed. Despegar's climate commitments are part of a broader strategy influenced by its parent company, Despegar.com, Corp., and its corporate family relationship with Naspers Limited and Prosus N.V. While no specific emissions data is available, the company's proactive approach to sustainability reflects a growing trend within the travel and tourism industry to address climate change and reduce carbon footprints.
