Climate impact through payments

A portion of WAYV Pay's transaction revenue supports verified climate projects connected to the countries where transactions take place.

The exact allocation percentage is governed by WAYV Pay's allocation policy. Where a figure has not been confirmed for publication, this page states "a portion of transaction revenue" rather than a number.

• Business customers can indicate preferred project types: solar, wind, hydro, nature-based, tree planting, water treatment and soil treatment.
• Businesses can indicate preferred regions, including specific EU countries, the UK and other regions.
• WAYV Pay matches contributions to projects connected to the countries where transactions take place, where suitable projects are available.

A verified project is certified under a recognised carbon standard and issues credits through that standard's registry, with independent third-party validation and periodic monitoring. The applicable standard for each contribution is stated in the relevant impact report; WAYV Pay does not treat unregistered claims as verified.

• Supporting a project means directing funding to a verified climate project.
• Offsetting a specific transaction means measuring that transaction's emissions and retiring an equivalent verified credit against it.
• WAYV Pay's default model is support, not per-transaction offsetting.
• Any figure presented as offset states whether it is calculated, purchased, retired or independently verified.

Impact summaries are made available to business customers in the dashboard, with periodic reporting on contributions and the projects supported. Reported figures are labelled by their basis so that estimated values are never presented as retired credits.
