  Fighting climate change

  Mastercard is a global technology company in the payments industry. We are acutely aware of our carbon footprint. Hence we have committed to create a more sustainable and inclusive digital economy, with a pledge to reach net zero emissions by 2050. ; This goal builds upon our existing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) commitments that align with the Business Ambition for 1.5°C pledge. The first in the payments industry to gain Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approval for its GHG goals, Mastercard is currently working towards its SBTi-approved goal to reduce total Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 38% and Scope 3 emissions by 20% by 2025 from a 2016 baseline. ; These targets reflect a long-term commitment by the company to monitor and implement best practices to reduce emissions across the business, drive operational energy efficiency, and further engage suppliers in value chain decarbonization. Progress already made towards these goals includes achieving 100% renewable electricity in 2020, reinforced by a commitment to RE100. ; Mastercard is also mobilizing its technology, expertise, and trusted global partnerships network to lead on collective climate action, through innovative initiatives such as the Greener Payments Partnership and the Priceless Planet Coalition.
• Covid-19 recovery:

  Covid-19 recovery

  We’re building on our response to COVID-19 with a commitment to bring one billion people into the digital economy by 2025 – including 50 million small businesses and a direct focus on 25 million women entrepreneurs – expanding on the 500 million we’ve connected over the past 5 years.; On any average day, our network is helping you get the most out of daily activities, whether it’s buying a gift or stocking up on groceries; helping a small business get paid; or using data-powered insights to help businesses and governments make critical decisions. And, at the heart of all of that, we strive to make every transaction safe, simple, smart and accessible.; That continues in today’s uncertain world. That same technology is there to send money to friends and family or to access credit for medical care. Our network is the cornerstone to these activities. And, even in the face of this unprecedented event, our operations continue as normal.; We are working to support communities hit hard by COVID-19, matching employee donations to relief efforts and contributing to funds like the China Women's Development Foundation and local food banks in the U.S. Our employees are making an impact in their local communities, and we are helping them match their unique skills to volunteer opportunities that focus on health, human services and small business initiatives.
• Tackling economic inequality:

  Tackling economic inequality

  Our focus is on connecting people and businesses to achieve financial security, providing workers with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly changing landscape, ensuring that economic development is inclusive and building up the field of data science for social impact. We recognize bringing more people into the digital economy strengthens the systems, empowers its users and leads to inclusive growth. That’s why we’re doubling down on our original global financial inclusion commitment to bring a total of 1 billion people into the digital financial system by 2025.; ; In Europe, Mastercard is also focused on supporting customers in engaging people in doing well by doing good, which has proved to be effective, sustainable and powerful. Maximizing the transformative power of school meals, especially for girls, helps communities in need to thrive and prosper. Since 2012, Mastercard Europe has contributed 104 million school meals by collecting donations on our donations platform.
• Equal opportunity:

  Equal opportunity

  Mastercard has been on an inclusion journey for many years. While we’ve made great strides, we remain dedicated to expanding our efforts to create a diverse and inclusive culture where the best people choose to be.; Here are some of the ways we’re building a culture of Inclusion and Belonging at Mastercard, in our communities and in our world:; We are committed to gender equity and the principle of equal pay for equal work.; We are dedicated to recruiting and developing female leaders, and we have increased the representation of women in our workforce and in leadership positions.; We offer our employees compensation and benefits to support their entire experience both personally and professionally.; We work to provide a safe and healthy workplace that enables employees to achieve their full potential.; Meanwhile, in respect of employee relations, Mastercard follows many elements of best practice in the UK, including the following:; appropriate channels for effective voice, such as trade union recognition; investment in workforce development; no inappropriate use of zero hours contracts; action to tackle the gender pay gap and create a more diverse and inclusive workplace; providing fair pay for workers (for example, payment of the real Living Wage); offer flexible and family friendly working practices for all workers from day one of employment; oppose the use of fire and rehire practices.
• Wellbeing:

  Wellbeing

  During the nearly 18 months of constant anxiety, stress and fatigue, the pandemic has affected everyone in unimaginable ways. For millions, the line between work and life has been blurred, and there should be no shame in admitting that our wellbeing sometimes suffers.; Even before the pandemic, wellbeing was a priority for Mastercard. Once the lockdown hit, Mastercard recognized that keeping the workforce happy and healthy was a key priority, so we implemented meeting-free days to combat Zoom fatigue, shorter summer hours on Fridays and global benefits including COVID leave for employees to recover from the disease and to care for others.; The company also launched Live Well, an app that helps employees keep track of their physical health, and partnered with Thrive Global, Arianna Huffington's behaviour change platform, which helps users achieve wellbeing through a combination of data, stories and suggestions.
