Mastercard announced the integration of his carbon calculator inside Planet Care, the new service of nexi which sensitizes citizens to a more aware and more environmentally friendly approach to consumption, through the impact of their purchases.
How much do we pollute? An instant report of CO2 emissions
Mastercard's carbon calculator, an API integrated into the Nexy Pay app, allows consumers to receive a instant report of CO2 emissions generated by their purchases, in each of the spending categories. The service allows you to estimate the environmental impact of each purchase through a weighted calculation based on the amount spent and the product category in which the shopping was made and is automatically updated with each transaction.
A concrete gesture to protect the planet
A function will also be integrated in the coming weeks that will allow Mastercard payment cardholders to decide whether co compensate for the CO2 produced, in whole or in part, through a donation to a non-profit organization partner of Nexi. A concrete gesture to make citizens an active part in safeguarding the planet.
