Most of the larger, global companies are at last showing signs of accepting the fact that global warming is a reality and directly related to the pollution which they generate. This realization has impacted their operational directives, which now put emphasis on environment sensitiveness. The international air freight industry, which is a significant contributor (about 7%) to the overall carbon emissions figures in 2006, is also expected to chip in and do their bit. In fact, each one of the international cargo airlines should see to it that they not only stop harming the environment, but try to reverse the harm that has already been done.

The international air freight companies are in the middle of the environmental protection controversies; they have agreed and have announced that they will enter into an agreement to contribute compulsorily for projects that protect the environment all over the world.

The amount that is earmarked for this purpose has not been fixed, though the agreement stipulates that it should be proportionate to the number of freight services that each cargo airline offers. Europe organized and spearheaded its efforts through the Kyoto Protocol Agreement, which states that the participating countries are committed to bringing down the carbon emission by 2012. USA was conspicuous by its absence at this momentous event.
