189Have you ever thought about the amount of carbon emissions behind each of your purchases?
When adding desired items to your shopping cart or ordering from a restaurant menu, we often focus solely on the quality of the goods and the enjoyment of the service, rarely realizing the hidden carbon emissions behind these consumer behaviors. On World Environment Day, we hope to help everyone reconsider the relationship between individual consumption and Earth's health through China's first carbon calculator based on payment amounts.
With the support of Carbonstop, the Construction Bank of China (CBC) and Mastercard have issued the first dual-application card that can be used both domestically and internationally — the Long Card Mastercard Enjoy Platinum Credit Card. This card features a pioneering carbon calculator based on payment amounts and categories of consumption, making it one of the most advanced green concept credit cards in the market. Consumers can quickly estimate the carbon emissions generated by their purchases by entering the consumption amount and category, gaining a clear understanding of the environmental impact of each shopping behavior.
Imagine, after enjoying a delicious meal, it reveals the corresponding "carbon footprint" based on your consumption amount, acting like a thoughtful friend who constantly reminds you of the close connection between your consumption behavior and carbon emissions. You will realize that every choice you make is closely related to the future of our planet.
The carbon calculator relies on Carbonstop's global leading carbon emission factor database — CCDB. It aggregates carbon emission data from various industries, accurately calculating the carbon emissions and potential carbon reduction for each consumption based on the carbon emission coefficients of different categories and the consumption amount. All this follows relevant domestic and international standards and has been certified by authoritative bodies to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.
In the future, a green energy points system will be introduced to encourage consumers to participate in tree planting public welfare activities, offsetting the carbon emissions generated by consumption, forming a positive incentive model where "the more you consume, the more green energy you earn."
This credit card even uses rPVC material, which is produced by recycling and reprocessing discarded PVC products. It is stable in performance and environmentally friendly, and can still be recycled and reused after use. It is the first card within China to receive certification under Mastercard's "Sustainable Cards Program," featuring a unique green identity mark on the back. Carbonstop provides CBC and Mastercard with precise carbon emission calculation models using professional carbon management technology and experience, quantifying the impact of consumer behavior on carbon emissions and providing users with intuitive motivation for emission reduction.
We firmly believe that as green finance continues to deepen and develop, green consumption will become a conscious choice for everyone. This is not only a responsibility towards our living environment but also a heartfelt commitment to future generations. Carbonstop understands its responsibilities and mission, and will continue to deepen its professional capabilities to write a new chapter in green finance together.
On this special day, World Environment Day, we hope that through this carbon calculator, more people will understand the close connection between consumption and carbon emissions and inspire everyone to contribute to the future of our planet.
