Cardiff based B- Corp and sustainable money app, Zero, has launched a new feature - Zero Carbon Projects - enabling users to offset their carbon footprint through verified carbon removal projects with no monthly commitment required.
Zero users can now take a one-off action, or contribute as part of a wider sustainability journey, through newly launched Zero Carbon Projects that empowers consumers to support global carbon removal initiatives - from mangrove restoration to sustainable concrete production, all while improving their GreenScore®.
Zero’s portfolio also provides customers access to the Frontier carbon offtake agreement - a pioneering initiative developed by a coalition including Google (Alphabet), Meta (Facebook), Stripe, and Microsoft. Frontier aims to scale emerging carbon removal technologies in alignment with IPCC guidance, which emphasises the need to remove carbon and reduce emissions to meet global climate goals.
The launch forms part of Zero’s growing suite of planet-first finance tools, shaped directly by its customer community, who will collectively own 20% of the future value of the company. As with every feature launched by Zero, the roadmap is built in partnership with the people using the app - making sustainability a shared mission, not a bolt-on.
Richard Theo, co-founder and CEO of Zero, and founder of Wealthify, ActiveQuote, and Fintech Wales, said:
“With Zero Carbon Projects, we’re making it easy for people to take climate action in a way that’s transparent, affordable and immediate. You don’t need a subscription, and you don’t need to change your lifestyle overnight. Every contribution helps, and this feature gives our community the power to make a difference one step at a time.”
Why it matters:
● 61% support the goal of the cutting emissions to get to net zero by 2025
● 74% believe we will fail in the goal to get to net zero by 2025
● Zero is building the tools to make that happen—together with the people who believe in the mission.
