Up Romania, the first Romanian company in the field of employee benefits, announces the implementation of a new carbon footprint calculation service for Up Romania’s cards transactions, using the innovation of Ethoca Consumer Clarity™. This initiative marks a significant step forward in providing an enhanced digital experience and aligning with the preferences of Up Romania’s card users. The Ethoca Consumer Clarity Carbon Footprint Calculation has been developed for Mastercard using Doconomy's Åland Index.
According to a recent survey conducted by Aite-Novarica, 88% of consumers prefer to receive digital receipts in their digital banking apps, and 75% consider it very important for web or mobile banking apps to be user-friendly. In a world where 80% of the top 250 companies now have goals for reducing carbon emissions, Up Romania responds to these heightened consumer demands by introducing Ethoca Consumer Clarity™.
In the context of a modern world characterized by rapid technological innovations and profound changes in consumer behaviour, Up Romania recognizes the importance of adapting and offering sustainable solutions to address global environmental challenges. In the face of constantly rising consumer expectations and the rapid evolution of digital commerce, carbon footprint calculation becomes an imperative necessity. By implementing Ethoca Consumer Clarity™, Up Romania not only meets its customers' increased demands for transparency and clarity in transactions, but also demonstrates a strong commitment to reducing ecological impact.
In an era where 80% of the top 250 global companies aim to reduce carbon emissions, Up Romania joins the collective effort to create a more responsible and sustainable financial environment, contributing to reducing the negative effects on the environment through education and providing consumers with tangible tools to make informed decisions about their purchases.
Ethoca Consumer Clarity™ enhances the experience for Up Dejun, Up Cadou, Up Cultura, and Up Vacanta cardholders, by providing an estimate of the carbon footprint for each transaction made with Up Romania’s cards at merchants in Romania, educating consumers on managing their purchases.
By implementing Ethoca Consumer Clarity™, Up Romania demonstrates its commitment to providing a superior digital experience, reducing chargebacks and fraud, and remaining competitive in the ever-changing digital landscape.
