A recently published global survey by Deloitte found that over 80% of executives are concerned about climate change, with 30% stating that their organisation has felt the operational impact of climate-related disasters.

Businesses are realising that climate change is no longer a distant threat and are looking to limit the impact their activities have on the environment.

In addition, many organisations are under pressure to provide more
environmentally friendly products and services as their customers start to shift to more sustainable lifestyles.


This paper will discuss the shift to more sustainable buying behaviours and how payment providers are uniquely positioned to lead in sustainability. It will focus on four angles that payment companies might want to explore to strengthen their offerings with a climate change perspective and how they can offer added value services to their sustainability-conscious customers and position themselves as a more sustainable business to partners,
customers and investors.
