As a social enterprise, we’re committed to bypassing intermediaries who take up to 80% of money sent to impact projects.
That means, when you support a good cause through Handprint, you can be confident that at least 90% of your pledge will go directly to communities in the field.
1. Dollar-to-impact efficiency
We choose environmental and social impact partners that deliver the most impact per dollar spent.
Mangroves, for example, store three to five times more organic carbon than tropical upland forests.
This makes them an excellent choice for combating climate change at a very low cost. Planting mangroves also helps support local communities while providing rich habitats where native animals can thrive.
2. Transparency
We use a mobile app – Planter – to confirm delivery of all funds to your impact partner. We’re also using a public accounting system on the blockchain so you’ll be able to track donation flow from anywhere on the planet.
Our next goal is to build tools that allow project leaders to speak directly to the community about developments on the ground. These peer-to-peer links will therefore allow you to see exactly how sponsorship dollars translate to real-world impact.
3. Science-backed
We use proven algorithms for calculating carbon. Wherever possible, we also use remote sensing and machine learning to track impact.
Together with our science partners, Global Mangrove Trust and Kumi Analytics, we’re working on the cutting edge of measuring carbon absorption from space. As a result, we’re driving change that makes sustainability accessible to everyone.
4. Social/environmental justice
While our clients are global, our environmental and social impact partners operate almost entirely in developing nations.
This means businesses from all around the world can be involved in making vulnerable communities more resilient, while building a better future for generations to come.
5. Ownership & Traceability
Every time you support a good cause, your impact is quantified and tracked over time. That means you can be confident of exactly how much positive impact your business has had on the planet.
This impact belongs entirely to you, and you can share it with the world to show your customers how your business has made a difference.
6. Independence
We’re developing a scoring system for measuring impact. This includes the positive impact of carbon capture, gender equality, life on land, life in the water, social improvement, and much more.
Go beyond neutrality and carbon offsetting. Start regenerating the planet by supporting good causes that make a real impact.
You might already know what a Footprint is: the sum of all the negative impact we leave on the planet.
Well, a Handprint is the sum of all the actions you take to create a positive impact on the Earth – beyond just neutrality or compensation.
For instance, Handprint Tech enables actual carbon absorption from the atmosphere, which has more impact than only reducing the carbon emissions. And on top of it, our actions improve the livelihood of local villagers living by the mangroves reforestation areas.
We’re working hard to make everything as transparent as possible.
We’re using a public accounting system on the blockchain so you can actually track the cashflow.
Our collaborators at GMT have created an application that enables NGOs to confirm receipt of funds.
So while right now, we are not yet perfectly able to track:
As for now, it’s not possible for your e-store customers to contribute with their own money to the impact projects. We’ll develop this capacity in the future, may it be a highly demanded feature.
As a merchant, you will pay a USD 0.11 fee for each transaction that generates a micro-contribution to impact.
You can also add premium features for a monthly fee of $9 per feature.
What you’ll pay is what you commit to in terms of impact: for instance, if you pledge to allocate 1% of your revenue to a reforestation project, then this 1% will be charged and transferred to the organisation planting mangroves on the field.
Your customers pay $0, because we believe that it’s not fair for individuals to bear the responsibility for climate change alone. Instead, we give businesses the opportunity to actively regenerate the planet.
No, because the Handprint plugin shows in the Cart page – not at the Checkout process. Actually, it can improve conversion! When your customers see that your brand’s sustainable actions are aligned with their own values, they’ll more likely complete their purchase on your store.
Absolutely! In your Handprint Dashboard, go to your e-commerce plugin section and select:
With Handprint’s tools, businesses can finally customise sustainability impact:
