FAQs
Our goal is to empower companies to reduce the climate impact caused by business travel in an effortless and meaningful way. In the future, we will expand our offering to other expense categories.
Once you enrol into the program, we calculate your CO₂ emissions based on your travel related card payments. Your cashback will automatically be used to offset your CO₂ emissions with the help of our certified compensation partners. At the end of each year, you will receive a certificate for your offset CO₂ emission.
Sample calculation:
A plane trip Berlin-Munich, with a three-night 4-star hotel stay, and taxi rides to/from the airport in Munich for a total of €500 results in CO₂ emissions of 245.7 kg
(sources: GHG Protocol, biohotels.de)With a CO₂ price of €15 per ton, the compensation price is €3.71.
A cashback of more than €3.71/500 = 0.74% can fully cover the associated CO₂ compensation costs.
Every time you pay with a Pliant credit card, the merchant pays a fee for accepting the credit card transaction. Part of this fee is passed on by Pliant to its customers in the form of cashbacks. Now we also offer the possibility to finance CO₂ compensation with these cashbacks.
We calculate your CO₂ emissions based on your travel costs. In a simple example: If you pay for a cab ride with a Pliant card, we take an estimate of the average greenhouse gas emissions per euro generated by cab trips. We then calculate the CO₂ emissions associated with the cab ride by extrapolating the average value to the total cost of the cab ride. For this, we work together with the experts from cozero.
CO₂ compensation allows companies to compensate for the emissions they cannot avoid by investing in certified environmental projects. The projects are designed to reduce future emissions and might involve rolling out clean energy technologies, planting trees and protecting existing forests.
We used a rigorous approach to select the sustainability projects we invest in. We selected high-quality sustainability projects that are registered and tracked by generally accepted and reputable organizations in the voluntary markets, including Gold Standard, the Verified CO₂ Standard (VCS), and Climate Action Reserve (CAR).
