Connect Earth is a London-based embedded carbon tech provider for responsible banks, founded in 2021 by Alexander Lempka.
A new era is emerging where banks are expected to calculate the carbon footprint of their customers' transactions. In light of this global shift in the financial system, Connect Earth has identified a problem: that data is available, but processing it and surfacing reliable carbon emissions estimates to banks and their business and consumer customers is complex.
Our solution? Using next-gen API technology, we empower banks to embed automated carbon data and smart insights seamlessly into the digital banking platforms that customers use every day.
- Carbon data estimates for every transaction
- Insights and tips to put carbon data into real life action
- AI-driven transaction categorisation
- Continuously updated and improved data models and databases
We believe the carbon footprint of transactions is vital information people have a right to know so they can make more sustainable choices. It’s hugely valuable data for banks, too. Responsible banks must measure their own baseline risk and financed emissions. And, inform their business and consumer customers of the hidden environmental cost of their purchases, mitigating climate risk and helping them make eco-friendly financial decisions. Customer expectations and regulatory trends support this evolution of the banks’ position in our economy.
The good news is, change is possible when we work together.
At Connect Earth, we help banks become Carbon Banks. They do so by embedding our carbon data API technology. This has been developed by our technicians using sound, evidence-based methodologies and advanced LLMs. We own the gold standard for carbon data, taking that complex problem and delivering a neat solution that transforms any bank into a bank of the future.
Yes, the banking system can be changed and it represents a significant step towards a positive, sustainable future that is well within reach. Those who join this movement help change the system, for good. With embedded carbon technology, every bank can be a Carbon Bank.
