When you're on a diet, making healthy choices is quite easy—nutritional labels provide clear information on calories and nutrients. But when it comes to living more sustainably, it's a different story. Carbon emissions are invisible, and most purchases don't come with footprint labels, making it hard to understand the impact of everyday choices. This is where banks can play an important role. By integrating carbon insights into mobile banking platforms, banks can help customers understand the carbon footprint of their spending, empowering them to make more sustainable choices.

Many people believe that living sustainably is more expensive — but that’s not always the case. While some green products may come at a premium, many of the most impactful actions you can take as a consumer, like eating less meat, using public transport, or conserving energy, actually help you save money. For instance, swapping out meat for a plant-based option each week could save you £133 and reduce your carbon footprint by 69kg annually. The challenge? Many individuals lack the carbon literacy to fully understand how their daily choices impact both the environment and their finances. This is where banks can make a difference.
