Adyen is taking significant strides to address climate change at the point of sale by empowering merchants to offer shoppers the option to offset the carbon footprint of their purchases.
This innovative feature, known as Planet, supports various climate action initiatives, including reforestation and renewable energy projects. To ensure accurate calculations of emissions associated with each purchase, Adyen has collaborated with South Pole to develop a specialized greenhouse gas emissions calculator.
Kazidomi, an online supermarket chain committed to health and sustainability, is among the first merchants to implement the Planet feature. Olivier Vangest, Kazidomi’s Head of Technology, emphasizes the importance of partnering with companies that prioritize sustainability: “We choose to collaborate with those who share our forward-thinking approach to sustainability. Integrating Planet reflects our commitment to innovation aligned with our values in sustainable consumerism.”
