United’s Kirby: Carbon offsets “a fig leaf for a CEO to write a check”

Speaking on CAPA Live on 10-Mar-2021, United CEO Scott Kirby had some forthright ideas on carbon offsets.

“We’ve changed the conversation on climate change because we have a high profile brand. Others have committed to be 100% net-zero by 2050 but we are committed to getting to 100% without using carbon offsets, because the truth is that most carbon offsets aren’t even real.”

CAPA Live is broadcast on the second Wednesday of each month. The next CAPA Live will be on 14-Apr-2021.
