For every 10 payments you make with us, we plant a tree. By encouraging people to make sustainable habit changes with the help of technology. Heck, it’s easier than turning the tap off while brushing your teeth.
Everything we dream up, brainstorm about, and ultimately put out into the world contributes to our big-picture vision: to have a long-lasting, sustainable impact on people and the planet.
Sustainability is in our DNA. We're proud to be a B Corp certified company, recognizing that we meet high social and environmental standards.
We're formally committed to donating the equivalent of 5% of our profits to sustainability initiatives that make a real difference. We're cultivating a sense of environmental responsibility among our colleagues and members, actively encouraging and rewarding greener purchases. With bonsai, anyone can plant by using our digital Mastercard, and follow-up and nurture their own personal forest.
So far we've planted over 600.000 trees, translates to a reduction of 7.2 million kilograms of CO2 emissions and the creation of 60,568 days of meaningful employment.
Are we perfect? No... but committed to continue to be a force for good, delivering positive change via payments.
See our positive impact
We believe that the best way to encourage people to change is by removing the barriers to do so. That means designing an intuitive interface that’s dead easy to use. With the bonsai app, every user has a direct impact on society and the planet just by scanning their phone to pay.
Innovating is how you win in today’s business climate. Keeping it old school is how you protect today’s actual climate. What we’re doing is a mash-up between the two: creating a super innovative app that puts money in the pockets of people doing the grunt work of planting your trees, one by one. We always have one eye on the latest banking trends to keep offering you innovative ways to easily implement sustainability in your life. The other eye we keep trained on how we can optimise our service to help nature do its thing. And our third eye? That’s looking inward to see how we can be better people all around.
Everyone at bonsai works here because they believe in each of our core values. Because beyond being ultra talented and highly skilled pros, it’s only through a strong belief in what we stand for -- and a turbo-charged drive to achieve great things -- that we can make bonsai a success.
