Klarna launches carbon footprint insights for shoppers
Buy now, pay later big hitter Klarna has announced the launch of CO2 insights for shopping purchases.
It has partnered with Doconomy to provide people with an average kgCO2 value for each purchase made via its payment methods, available free of charge in the Klarna app.
“With fat, sugar and salt levels labelled on food we buy, why shouldn’t our CO2 emissions be just as visible? This type of information shouldn’t be a premium or luxury that consumers pay for, but rather an essential part of every shopping journey,” says Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO at Klarna.
“That’s why we’re upgrading our app to give all our consumers globally transparent access to their shopping carbon footprint.”
“We all make decisions that affect the health of the planet and it’s essential that everyone has access to sound information to make smart climate choices in a simple and straightforward way.”
Giveone.com platform
On Earth Day, Klarna will also launch its Giveone.com platform.
As part of this, it will allocate 1% of its latest $1 billion funding round to initiatives supporting the planet.
