SailGreener Terms and Conditions

Welcome to the SailGreener carbon offset programme of Swire Shipping. Please read the following terms and conditions carefully.

Carbon offset credits under this programme will be acquired through the Fly Greener carbon offset programme of Cathay Pacific Airways Limited (“Cathay Pacific“).

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully. Your acceptance of them is required to proceed with this transaction.
1. These terms and conditions apply to the Swire Shipping SailGreener carbon offset programme (the “SailGreener Programme”).
2. Any contribution you make to the SailGreener Programme is voluntary.
3. Your contribution will be used to acquire verified emission reductions (“VERs”) from projects that certified under Gold Standard for the environmental and social benefits that they bring to the local communities.
These carbon credits are obtained through Cathay Pacific’s Fly Greener programme where the projects are chosen by Cathay Pacific in its sole discretion. While Cathay Pacific takes all reasonable care to select VERs from projects, neither Cathay Pacific nor Swire Shipping makes any guarantee or warranty as to the environmental, social and/or other benefits these projects might bring about.
4. The calculations are obtained from our internal emissions calculation tool which is based on historical shipping data. While we try to estimate the emissions as closely as possible, the calculated emissions should not be relied upon as an accurate record of your actual emissions. We accept no liability if this calculation is incorrect or does not accurately reflect the actual greenhouse gas emissions attributable to your shipment.
5. Swire Shipping has sole discretion whether to accept requests to acquire carbon credits or otherwise. Once you make the request, these terms and conditions are considered accepted.
6. If the request is accepted, Swire Shipping will acquire the carbon credits from Cathay Pacific’s Fly Greener programme and the carbon credits will be retired on your behalf, under the name of the individual, organisation or company provided by you. Swire Shipping will issue a certificate to such named party reflecting the amount of carbon dioxide offset (the “SailGreener certificate”). The name(s) you provided will become public information.
The carbon credits that Swire Shipping assist to acquire from Cathay Pacific will be priced in Hong Kong dollars but paid for by Swire Shipping in United States Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate Swire Shipping’s bank imposes on such transactions at the time of payment. Your contribution to Swire Shipping will be equivalent to the amount Swire Shipping paid to Cathay Pacific in United States Dollars.
7. You will not be allowed to amend the name of the individual, organisation or company to be reflected on the SailGreener certificate once the name is provided.
8. The details of the projects that have been selected from which to purchase the carbon credits to offset the emissions from your shipment will be reflected on the SailGreener certificate.
9. Swire Shipping will not calculate nor offset the emissions of your shipment that have been transshipped on a non-Swire Shipping operated vessel.
10. There will be no refund of any contribution you make under the SailGreener Programme under any circumstances, even if you decide not to ship with Swire Shipping. You are advised to read the content of the SailGreener Programme website carefully in order to ensure that you understand the programme before completion of the transaction process.
11. While Swire Shipping has taken reasonable care to ensure the accuracy of the information relating to carbon offsetting , this information may be subject to change at any time without notice to you. Swire Shipping will not be liable for any inaccuracies in this information and does not guarantee that the information is up-to-date at all times, and excludes liability to the fullest extent permitted by any relevant law.
12. Swire Shipping may cancel or suspend the SailGreener Programme in its absolute discretion at any time without giving notice to you.
13. These terms and conditions are governed by Singapore. We may amend these terms and conditions at any time without notice to you. It is your responsibility to check for changes each time you make a new contribution.
14. This document should be read in conjunction with the general Data Protection and Privacy Policy and Terms of Use which apply to the use of the Swire Shipping website.
