Zero recommits to the planet
At Zero, we believe money should be a force for the good of the planet. That’s why we’re building an app dedicated to helping fund a sustainable future, and why we’re proud to announce our recertification with 1% for the Planet for another year.
This means we’re officially committing to donate 1% of our revenue to environmental causes, no matter how we grow. It’s a promise to consistently invest in the health of our planet, alongside our customers who share these values.
Why is this important?
Climate action needs consistent, reliable funding. 1% for the Planet ensures that businesses genuinely walk the walk, backing their environmental claims with real financial support for impactful organisations.
What does the Zero donation support?
Last year, we dedicated our 1% to supporting a variety of important causes, including the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), our local reservoir and Site of Special Scientific Interest — Lisvane and Llanishen.
What’s next for Zero and 1% for the Planet commitment?
We’re looking forward to enabling even more purposeful contributions when we launch the Zero Carbon Projects Portfolio.
Our 1% for the Planet commitment is just one part of our sustainable business approach, which also includes B Corp certification, membership of the Mastercard Priceless Planet coalition as well as our corporate approach to carbon emissions measurement and offsetting which, for 2024, saw us purchase carbon credits via the Lune platform to offset 110% of our operational carbon emissions. Our contributions went towards two Mangrove restoration projects in Pakistan and Myanmar, and the Frontier Offtake agreement to support and scale high integrity, long-duration carbon removal technologies.
These initiatives aren’t simply a badge of honour; they’re a core part of our commitment to help grow a financial system that prioritises people and planet.
This milestone is just the start.
