Through Deutsche Bahn´s bahn.business program, participating business travelers on DB local and long-distance trains on electrified routes travel with 100 percent renewable power within Germany. Indirect emissions, as well as the diesel emissions generated by local transportation, are offset. To this end, DB Fernverkehr invests in recognized climate protection projects that are certified according to strict standards such as the Gold Standard.
Companies that book their business trips through bahn.business receive an annual certificate documenting the number of kilometers traveled by train. In addition, an individual environmental balance sheet can also be generated. It shows how many greenhouse gas emissions were avoided by taking business trips with Deutsche Bahn compared to air travel or company cars.
