Working towards a more sustainable lifestyle

RePay International is a great believer in research and we follow any discussions on climate reports and global warming very closely. At the same time, our view is that global warming has a huge influence on life on our planet and on the quality of life of its inhabitants, and it doesn’t really matter whether an iceberg melts quickly or not. We make it possible for consumers and businesses to make a pro-active contribution to slowing down the global warming process. The reason that we do this for consumers and businesses is to help with the reduction of CO2 emissions connected to their lifestyle or business activities.

RePay International endeavours to help people throughout the world to make choices whereby sustainability plays a key role. This is the reason that we have linked the ClimaCount programme to the issue of credit cards. With this programme and the Visa GreenCard, we ensure that any purchases made with the credit card are CO2 neutral. In addition, our customers are able to see exactly how many CO2 emissions are linked to each purchase, for instance as a result of the production, logistics or sale of a certain product. In this way, everyone has a better idea of how much carbon dioxide is being emitted as a direct result of their lifestyle, giving them the possibility to reduce their impact on the environment. ...
