Mathias Wikström, co-founder and CEO of Doconomy, said: “As the market leader, shaping the language for impact in every transaction, we help users calculate 3 million transactions per day. We are proud to help educate the many and 2021 has presented rapid growth. We have significantly built out our bank connections across Europe and Asia and will soon assist additional markets. With banks representing over 360 million users already teaming up with Doconomy our expansion into lifestyle, product and corporate impact calculations looks promising. With Doconomy the conscious consumer is unleashed and the corporate world is very fast in acting on this much needed shift to greater transparency.”
Johan Pihl, co-founder and CIO of Doconomy, said: “Increased transparency and deepened understanding of environmental impact will forever change both how we manufacture products and how we consume them. Conscious consumption and low-impact lifestyles is rapidly becoming a global priority. Doconomy is built on the conviction that if we provide users with the right tools, we can motivate and drive behavioral change, ensuring substantial impact reductions from both individuals and corporations. And with the current funding round combined with local relevance and global reach, we are on track to accelerate the necessary shift towards a more sustainable future.”
Paul Morgenthaler, Partner of CommerzVentures, added: "At CommerzVentures we are intrigued by the potential of FinTech to foster climate action. Doconomy stands out as the global leader and standard for measuring transaction impacts. We couldn’t be more excited about joining forces, helping banks and payment companies educate and empower their customers for climate action."
