TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE ONE PURCHASE AT A TIME | Emma kisby

Podcast Radio Business Interviews

Emma Kisby, CEO of carbon footprint management experts Cogo,talks to Clayton M. Coke of Podcast Radio Business to discuss how Cogo helps people and businesses to measure the carbon emissions of their everyday spending as well as reduce, and offset their impact on the climate.

Emma Kisby & COGO seek to empower hundreds of millions of consumers and businesses worldwide to measure, reduce and compensate for their impact on people and the planet by helping them be more conscious of the impact their spending has.

Emma talks about the disconnect between consumers wanting to know about the impact of their spending, yet not knowing where to find this information as research published on 12th OCTOBER 2022 shows that while four in five mobile banking users want to know more about the environmental impact of their spending, only a fifth expect their bank to inform them - three in five would like to receive information from their bank such as advice based on their spending habits, or support in switching to EVs, minimising home energy use, and investing in green financial products.

Cogo helps people and businesses tomeasure the carbon emissions of their everyday spending as well as reduce, and offset their impact on the climate, displaying the information in their regular banking app. Cogo also offers ‘nudges’ to help people change their habits and reduce their overall carbon footprint, with them able to take recommended actions such as not buying fast fashion or eating less meat.
