The most frequently asked questions
CO₂e stands for carbon dioxide equivalent. It's a way of measuring the total impact of different greenhouse gases on the planet, not just carbon dioxide. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change.
We estimate purchase's carbon footprint based on what the consumer bought and how much they spent. Every shop or service is grouped into a category (MCC) that reflects the typical environmental impact of purchases in that industry. We then use this to estimate the footprint for the transaction.
Reducing your carbon footprint starts with small, everyday choices — like using less energy, choosing sustainable products or cutting down on waste. When reducing isn't possible, you can help balance out your impact by supporting projects that prevent extra emissions or remove carbon from the air, such as clean energy projects or tree planting.
The consumer contributions support high-quality, certified climate projects via Gold Standard, Tusk, Conservation International, and more. ekko only partner with globally recognised organisations that lead in sustainability and are committed to full transparency and traceability. Every contribution you make supports vetted, third-party validated projects so you can be confident you're driving real impact.
We are a sustainability-focused fintech that helps individuals and businesses make their financial decisions count for the planet. Our tools help you understand the environmental impact of your purchases and make it easy to contribute to meaningful climate and nature projects. Learn more at www.ekko.earth.
