The DO credit card automatically tracks the CO₂ footprint from your card purchases and provide you with alternatives to compensate. You will also be able to collect DO credits from our partners that can be used for further compensation.

Do I have to change bank to use DO?

It’s a credit card! As with any other credit card, you can use it for your monthly consumption, and pay off the bill in the end of the month.

What is climate compensation?

DO offer members the possibility to climate compensate for the carbon emissions from their consumption, that couldn’t be avoided. Measuring the carbon emissions, understanding the footprint and working to reduce it, is key to act on climate change on both organizational and individual level. By financing UN certified emission reductions, you can compensate the emissions that could not be avoided. By buying units in climate friendly compensation projects you can support projects in developing countries, have a positive impact on local communities and contributing to achieving the UN Sustainable Development goals (also known as the SDGs).

Why do you offer climate compensation?

Many consumers want to be part of mitigating climate change. Climate compensation is one way to neutralize your carbon footprint. However, it should not be used as an indulgence for further consumption, and it must be done in combination with understanding the footprint, working to reduce it and compensate for emissions that could not be avoided. We know this is not easy, and we are all learning. Let’s share our knowledge and DO this together.
