The only hotel booking platform that removes CO₂ on every booking as standard. 1 ton removed per stay. Zero extra cost. UN-verified.
Browse Carbon Offset HotelsTraditional carbon offsetting funds projects that prevent future emissions. IMPT does something more powerful: every booking physically removes CO₂ already in the atmosphere through UN-verified carbon removal credits.
The removal is not a promise or a certificate. It is independently audited under the United Nations framework. For every booking made through IMPT, the equivalent of 28 average hotel nights of CO₂ is removed from the atmosphere.

Most carbon offset programmes fund projects that avoid future emissions — protecting forests, building renewable energy, or distributing efficient cookstoves. These are valuable but don't remove CO₂ already in the atmosphere. The climate benefit depends on the project surviving long-term, which is difficult to guarantee.
IMPT uses carbon removal credits verified under the United Nations framework. These credits represent CO₂ that has been physically extracted from the atmosphere and stored permanently — not just prevented from entering. The removal is independently audited, measured in verified tons, and cannot be reversed.
When you book through IMPT, you don't need to evaluate the quality of the offset. The UN verification does that for you. Every booking delivers the same verified outcome: 1 ton of CO₂ removed from the atmosphere, period.
