Adyen launches Planet, enabling climate action at checkout
AMSTERDAM, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

ADYEN (AMS: ADYEN), the payments platform of choice for many of the world's 
leading companies, today announced the launch of Planet, the company's latest 
addition to its Impact product suite[1]. Planet allows Adyen's merchants to 
offer their shoppers the opportunity to offset the carbon footprint of their 
purchases at the end of the checkout process. This optional feature, which can 
be implemented at no additional cost to the merchant, directly supports climate 
action projects (e.g. reforestation or renewable energy). Planet is easy to 
integrate for merchants and causes no additional friction in the payment 
process, as the option to balance out the carbon footprint occurs after 
checkout.

In order to ensure the data quality of emissions per purchase calculated, Adyen 
partnered with South Pole to build its own greenhouse gas emissions[2] 
calculator. For the selection of climate action projects, the South Pole 
partnership will continue to play an important role - providing over a decade's 
worth of experience in delivering positive environmental impact.

One of the first merchants to activate Planet is Kazidomi, an online 
supermarket chain with a health-based mission.

"We choose to partner with businesses that maintain a forward-thinking approach 
to sustainability, as we are a frontrunner in sustainable consumerism. 
Innovating over shared beliefs, like we did when integrating Planet, is 
illustrative of how we like to work," said Olivier Vangest, Head of Technology 
of Kazidomi. "We are excited to have added Planet to the frictionless payment 
experience we were already offering our shoppers via Adyen's single platform." 

"Taking responsibility for our environmental footprint is part of our license 
to operate in today's society. To go further than that we built Planet, a 
feature that leverages our technology to help our merchants support 
environmental sustainability projects," said Ingo Uytdehaage, CFO of Adyen. "By 
joining forces with our merchants, we can generate positive environmental 
impact at scale."
