New – Offset your CO2 emissions in collaboration with:
We set up a new partnership with Compensation CO2 Québec to calculate our carbon emissions during our trips and to offer clients the chance to pay an amount to offset them with the planting of trees. This development is the result of a great collaboration with the organization who shared different calculations with us to make sure we offer the right information to our clients.
This compensation will be in the form of a voluntary contribution from the customers and will be offered when they purchase their packages, which differ from one trip to another.
The components of our trips that will be compensated, to begin with, are: flights, coach transportation and cruises.
For the sake of transparency, please note that we calculate an average of 2644 passengers for our cruises, an average of 500 km per day for our coaches and we do not calculate fugitive emissions from flights at this time. The organization offers us the planting of a tree at a cost of $4.75 per tree, which can offset up to 0.182 tCO2 eq.
Once a year, the organization will share the geographic coordinates of our trees with us, which we will share with our customers who have contributed to offsetting their CO2 emissions.

Please note that Voyages Gendron has significantly reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by ceasing magazine distribution and minimizing paper use throughout the organization. We also include compensation for 1 tree per person for each package sold as part of the Explore Québec program, equivalent to the compensation generated by the average user of the program.
