　　The aviation industry is estimated to contribute two percent of current global man-made

　　carbon dioxide emissions and in this context, Cathay Pacific is well aware of its

　　responsibility to minimise the impact of its operations on the environment. In March, the

　　airline announced the develpment of a carbon-offset scheme that will allow the company to

　　neutralise a percentage of its carbon emissions by investing in environmental protection

　　projects in the Pearl River Delta. Under the proposed scheme, Cathay will establish a

　　mechanism which will offset emissions associated with its own staff business travel, and

　　will also provide passengers with the voluntary option of joining the offset programme.

　　Carbon-offset schemes are increasingly common in Europe and the United States, But are still

　　in their infancy in Asia; Cathay Pacific is taking the lead in this area as a part of a

　　programme of initiatives to improve energy efficiency, reduce fuel burn and contribute to

　　environmental awareness.
