Purchase, NY – July 22, 2020 – More than three quarters of people say they are “very concerned”[1] about the environment and feel companies should be doing more to address their impact on the planet[2]. As consumers look for ways to help tackle climate change through their own positive actions, many are limiting their use of single-use plastics. To address this growing concern, Mastercard has worked with global industry players to develop a sustainable card program for all card issuers globally. A new directory of sustainable materials and vendors for card products aims to make sustainable choice the preferred option for all financial institutions worldwide and drive enhanced innovation.
