Carbon Offsets Are Being Added to Interactive Brokers' Sustainability Offerings.

Interactive Brokers (IB) (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated worldwide electronic broker, today introduced Carbon Offsets, a new product accessible via IMPACT, the company's mobile trading app designed for socially concerned investors. Carbon Offsets enable investors to make a long-term environmental impact by simply lowering individual carbon emissions via the use of a single trading platform intended to simplify the sustainable investment process for any investor.

Carbon offsets are now offered via Interactive Brokers' IMPACT platform.

Airplane travel, as well as innocuous daily activities, emit hazardous greenhouse gas emissions. Building on the ease of use of IMPACT, investors may now utilize the Carbon Offsets tool to choose between greenhouse-gas emitting activities connected to home, transportation, and food, or input a precise quantity of carbon to offset in dollars or tons. Interactive Brokers finds and retires Carbon Credits at the right authorities, allowing investors to decrease their carbon footprints wholly or partly while accomplishing larger sustainability objectives.

A customer flying from New York City to Hong Kong, for example, may hit the “Offset Your Carbon” banner on the IMPACT app homepage and scroll up to check offsets by category. The customer may then choose the flight duration in hours and buy carbon offsets to have a good influence on the environment. Furthermore, the technology provides the number of tons of carbon neutralized in both the app and on account statements, allowing customers to follow their progress toward reducing their carbon footprints.

“Sustainability and environmental awareness are not isolated issues; they point to a broader cultural shift. A culture that recognizes the interconnectedness of our global society. As a consequence, we continue to create tools that serve this collective culture ”Will Peterffy, ESG Director at Interactive Brokers, agreed. “Through the IMPACT app, Carbon Offsets makes it simple for our customers to join in the rising collective culture devoted to stewarding our planet while investing in businesses that further fit with their beliefs.”

Sustain. Life and Interactive Brokers cooperated to give emissions statistics for any carbon-emitting action accessible in the app. Sustain. Life's SaaS platform assists businesses of all sizes in reducing their environmental effect by giving ESG tools for measuring and managing carbon emissions. For IB LLC customers, the Carbon Offsets feature is accessible in the IMPACT app.
