Nexi Adds Carbon Calculator to Payments App

Nexi, Europe's leading PayTech, today launches Planet Care, a new sustainability-oriented service designed to raise awareness among the public for the need for a more informed and environmentally friendly approach to daily consumption habits.

The service provides consumers with an opportunity to make an ongoing, concrete contribution to the protection of our planet.

The Planet Care service provides Nexi cardholders with information on the impact their purchases are having on the environment, enabling them to play an active role in reducing this impact.

Andrea Mencarini, Cards & Digital Payments Director at Nexi states, "A company wishing to play a leading role in the market must not only comply with the principles of sustainability that now guide investment choices, but it must also ensure that these same principles are understood and upheld by all stakeholders. This is why we have launched Planet Care - to make our cardholders more aware of the environmental impact that their purchases have. It also allows them to be actively involved in contributing to the protection of our planet."

Through Planet Care, Nexi intends to expand its reach on ESG issues, integrating the central role of sustainability, not only within the company, but in its employees' daily activities, and with the involvement of the public to promote a more environmentally-friendly approach to consumption.

In the coming weeks, the service will be enriched with a feature that allows users to decide whether to offset all or part of the CO₂ produced from their purchase, through a donation to a nonprofit organisation partnered with Nexi.
