Reducing carbon emissions across Mastercard

At Mastercard, our first priority is continuously improving the environmental footprint of our offices and operations. The next step is ensuring our electronic payment solutions are built on a sustainable foundation by increasing the energy efficiency and by investing in renewable resources. By the end of 2018, Mastercard had reduced our emissions by 42% from 2016. We source renewable energy for 100% of our global operations, and we are committed to maintaining this goal.

In 2018, our on-site solar arrays generated 1,725,808 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy, or 9.6% of the electricity consumed, and 79% of our owned and operated facilities’ total square footage is either green-building certified or located in a building that achieved green certification in that area of the world.

Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch

The Maybelline Matte + Poreless Foundation is one of their bestselling foundations, and typically comes in a clear, glass bottle with a black lid. However, the design has been revamped for a more eco-friendly design . The formula remains unchanged, but Maybelline have created the Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch which is a special portable on-the-go pouch format. Whilst plastic is still something that's not biodegradable, the point of this pouch is that it's a lot more sustainable in terms of manufacturing compared to the manufacturing of glass. There's also a lot less packaging needed to protect the products in transit, so Maybelline have really thought about every little thing in designing this new Maybelline Matte + Poreless On The Go Foundation Pouch format.
