Environmental responsibility in payment solutions
The adverse changes in our environment due to unacceptable human intervention are some of the most difficult challenges we will face as species in the coming years. But the global COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated that in responding to a threat, consumers can and will make major changes to their behavior in an effort to achieve the common good. Customers also expect the same level of responsibility from the companies with which they interact, too.

Saving the oceans, one card at a time
From the first engagement with the team at WLTH, it was made very clear that the eco credentials of G+D products had to be of the highest standard to align with WLTH’s strong corporate social responsibility values. Founders of WLTH, brothers Drew and Brodie Haupt, grew up in Queensland, Australia – which is home to some of Australia’s most iconic beaches and the world’s largest coral reef. Spending hours on the beach as children, the pair formed an important relationship with the oceans and coastlines, which are now sadly under threat and inundated with refuse and microplastics.
Sustainable payment cards – with individual solutions
Very often, our clients ask us which sustainable card is the best. Our answer is that there is never a single best environmental solution. We offer a wide range of right solutions for your application or product. With Convego® Beyond we created a broad offering of environmentally friendly products and services. We also advise you regarding the best solution for your business and your individual sustainability policies.
