Ekko Set to Lead on Embedded Sustainability in 2023

Backed by a founding team of respected banking and fintech industry experts, ekko has a strong purpose: to use the reach of financial services to empower people and businesses to start their sustainability journey. ekko’s partnerships already include giving access to UEFA Champions League football clubs with PAYFAN, and household name businesses.

As part of its commitment to everyday environmental empowerment, ekko remains a member of the Mastercard Priceless Planet Coalition. The global platform is helping to unite corporate sustainability efforts while encouraging businesses and users to take collective action on climate goals. In particular, the forest restoration model is dedicated to the planting of 100 million trees and regrowing forests in geographies with the greatest global need.

CEO and Co-Founder, Oli Cook, said: “ekko’s vision is to empower more people to have the ability to reduce their impact on the environment. We have opened-up our technology to any employer, bank, card, or payment provider meaning thousands of organizations can now deliver tangible and measurable impact with their colleagues and customers.

“The financial services industry has the potential to be a gateway to green for many, and we plan on making 2023 the year when this gateway fully opens. Our powerful technology allows employers and banks to customize the solution to meet their ESG goals, including on-the-ground partnerships with businesses such as Prevented Ocean Plastic who save and recycle plastic bottles before they hit our oceans.”
