Inspiration
Consumers often lack insight into the environmental impact of their daily purchases. While many want to act sustainably, they don’t have data, feedback, or motivation. Current credit cards only provide financial rewards, and there is no large-scale system to encourage sustainable behavior at the purchase level. Existing environmental data isn’t accessible or actionable for consumers.
What it does
- Analyze transactions and calculates carbon footprints
- Labels purchases as environmentally good or bad
- Generates a personal Eco Score and places users on a global Eco Rank leaderboard
- Award users with Eco Points for eco-friendly behavior
- Visualize customers' habits in a user-friendly dashboard
