Operational Impact
The introduction of an internal carbon tax has made it a financial necessity for Klarna to push for low-carbon alternatives in all aspects of their business, from office fittings to marketing materials. This has aligned everyday business decisions with the goal of reducing emissions. The tax also funds the Climate Transformation Fund, which invests in climate advocacy and carbon removal. Klarna's use of Watershed to gather emissions data on their largest vendors and partners has helped them understand where they can make the most impact. The company's Give One Initiative has also allowed them to dedicate significant funds to planet health action. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Two-thirds of Klarna's offices have been converted to run on clean energy. | |
Klarna has committed $16.5M to its Give One Initiative, which funds its carbon reduction program and carbon removal initiatives. | |
Klarna is committed to cutting their carbon intensity in half by 2030, and to operating at net zero emissions by no later than 2040. | |
