Overview
There is increasingly strong sentiment in society to take action against the impacts of climate change, and we must leverage our technology to make it simple and convenient for individuals to do so.
Through existing and emerging products, we can inform consumers about the carbon footprint of their purchases to make mindful spending choices. Our ‘v1.0’ Carbon Calculator (CC), powered by Doconomy’s Aland Index, offers consumers such a way to approach environmentally friendly spending by supplying them with actionable climate information and support.
Our capabilities also support the successful progress of our flagship forest reforestation program - the Priceless Planet Coalition (PPC) – towards its 100M tree goal.
We continue to enhance and scale both our CC and PPC assets identifying and developing differentiating features to maintain our competitive advantage.
