Currensea actively measures the impacts of plastic within its organization and offsets its impact. In addition, it offers this opportunity to the cardholders it serves — cardholders can designate a portion of their savings to fund plastic collection in Plastic Bank’s communities. Currensea then takes all of the contributions people have made and purchases a bulk offset on their behalf.

Staff at Currensea recognize the importance of their work and find value in their contribution to the company; sustainability is integral to the work culture. Why? Because it’s the only way to guarantee our future as a planet and society, it elevates Currensea’s brand against competitors in the fintech space.

Speaking with Currensea’s Jordan Bishop, he states, “I wouldn’t be working in a business that didn’t put sustainability front and center, so that’s part of the reason why I ended up at Currensea.” As a Finance Director, Jordan must consider short- and long-term business results. That’s why he appreciates and thinks about environmentalism every day, both personally and professionally. Without Currensea’s efforts to go beyond accommodating travellers’ transaction fees and contributing towards improving global communities, employees like Jordan wouldn’t have seen the role as “appealing.”
