Dyme Dividends for the Planet: We’re excited to launch a new platform for employers to engage employees in the fight against climate change.
Employees can turn everyday purchases into renewable energy for American communities
Like you, we care deeply about making and leaving the planet a better place. We all know climate change is an issue and a big deal.
But it’s such a big deal, how can each and every one of us have a positive impact? It seems daunting – with so many options. It is messy. Concepts are too abstract. What can we do after all? Because we could donate to a charity fighting the greenhouse effect by planting trees. Or buy carbon offsets for our business. But will that be enough and is it effective? These were the kind of questions we heard across the country.
So we started Dyme to make it easier for everyone. Individuals, companies, and employees can contribute to climate change by doing the things that they do today. Even better: without having to donate or spend extra or change where they spend. And without giving up any rewards your bank gives you today.
So if that sounds too good to be true, read on!
Turning commissions, fees, and rebates into investments in renewable energy
Behind most financial transactions like shopping online, there are commissions and rebates. They are a “thank you” for being a customer and encourage more people to become a brand’s customers. And there are volume discounts and rebates, similar to how Costco prices goods to be more affordable in bulk. We take those commissions, rebates, and fees and invest our profits in renewable energy for communities and schools.
And it turns out solar energy is one of the most effective ways to reduce climate change – because the electricity generated is not coming from coal or gas-powered plants. And it’s great for our communities – delivering savings on electricity bills, employment for local installers, and often, the extra money that schools can use for their teachers & students.
How it works
Make your and your employees’ purchases into your main climate initiative
We built Dyme for employers and their employees. Businesses are the cornerstone of our economy, and activating every business would really make a difference.
All you have to do is contact us. We’ll create a campaign with you that makes all your employees (and maybe even customers!) part of the solution. It’s straightforward to install our Chrome extension, choose a gift card, or even link any existing credit card. And then each month your employees earn Dyme Dividends and we provide you updates on your collective impact in reducing CO2. 100 Dyme Dividends represent 1lb of CO2 reduced every single year – so it adds up quickly.
Every journey starts with the first small step
So today, we’re proud to announce that with our partners at Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Fidel API, Wildfire, and WeGift, we have thousands of great merchants such as Fanatics, Walmart, and Sephora – with whom you can earn Dyme Dividends.
And this is just the beginning – we’ll embed Dyme Dividends in as many products as possible and hope every brand can do something for the planet by offering them.
