NatWest is to embed a free carbon footprint tracker within its mobile banking app to help customers reduce the climate impact of their spending. NatWest says that product trials showed the average user saved approximately 11 kg of CO2 emissions per month by committing to behavioral changes that used less carbon - such as composting, reducing meat consumption, or switching utilities providers.
“We know that many people in the UK want to reduce their impact on the climate, and that to be able to change something in a meaningful way, you need to be able to measure it, ... Our use of CoGo’s expertise in carbon tracking in the NatWest app is a really important first step in making it easy for everyone to live and spend in a greener way - using the power of their money to influence change." said David Lindberg, CEO, retail banking.
