Brighter Planet is a proud partner of Bank of America. Working with Bank of America was both an environmental and business decision.
The equation is simple: more people using Brighter Planet Visa cards equals more offset projects equals a bigger difference in the fight against climate change. As the leading issuer of credit cards in the world, we believe that Bank of America offers us the greatest opportunity to reach people and ask them to take charge of climate change by earning carbon offsets with every purchase.
Furthermore, we believe Bank of America is committed to supporting sustainable development worldwide. Their initiatives include a $20 billion dollar environmental initiative that supports low carbon technologies and LEED certified building, a bold coal policy (PDF) renouncing mountaintop removal and backing emissions reductions, adoption of the carbon principles (PDF) for climate change, and financial support of the Harvard Center for the Environment.
These efforts, plus their partnership with Brighter Planet, make Bank of America a true corporate leader in the transition to a more sustainable future.
