What is your carbon footprint?
Meniga’s Carbon Insight enables Íslandsbanki’s mobile banking app users to track their carbon footprint. The Meniga Carbon Index contains the carbon intensity value of approximately 80 spending categories, as weighed against a currency unit. The Carbon Insight solution informs, empowers and motivates customers to take action against their carbon emissions.
All transactions are categorised into specific spending categories, which estimate the carbon footprint of each transaction. Examples of spending categories include food, cars, transport, health, and personal care products, etc. Each spending category has a subcategory, e.g., food, which can include food purchases, fast food, convenience stores, ice cream shops, canteens, etc., as each subcategory has a different carbon footprint.
