This announcement is part of SUNRATE’s efforts to contribute to a sustainable economy and improvement of the planet. Mastercard founded the Priceless Planet Coalition in January 2020 which is guided by climate science and forest restoration experts Conservation International (CI) and World Resources Institute (WRI). The Coalition employs rigorous science-based practices for the selection, implementation, and monitoring of forest restoration efforts.
Officials from Mastercard said the Priceless Planet Coalition works by uniting companies, communities, and consumers in collective, coordinated climate action. By pooling resources, it's possible to rapidly scale forest restoration work and environmental initiatives, while providing forward-thinking companies like SUNRATE with pre-existing infrastructure that easily – and cost effectively – allows them to have a tangible impact. It is this connectivity that makes the Priceless Planet Coalition different and more effective.
Also commenting in the news, representatives from SUNRATE said tackling climate change is critical to their sustainability framework and studies have shown that reforestation is key to combating global warming, which in turn influences climate change positively. Therefore, they are happy to join this initiative and work together with Mastercard and other stakeholders to protect the planet and make lives greener.
