Norwegian climate and expense management developer Sonya has reportedly entered a partnership agreement with Swedish impact technology provider, Doconomy.
As noted by its management, Doconomy aims to “provide digital solutions to help us all live in a more sustainable way.”
The company added:
“We believe that people want to contribute to save the planet, but are hindered by insufficient tools to do so.”
Doconomy’s solution for consumers is called DO.
As noted by the firm, DO is a mobile banking service that enables users “to understand the impact of their daily choices.” This allows people to “adjust behavior, and to compensate for their impact on the planet.” The company calls it Everyday Climate Action.
Their enterprise service, Åland Index, is a cloud-based service “for climate impact calculations.” Åland Index is the “leading index solution for CO2 emission calculations for payments and financial transactions with over 1 000 000 users and growing.”
With the partnership with Doconomy, Sonya will aim to offer their customers with the possibility to measure the carbon footprint “from card transactions and additional, future, bank account transactions.”
The announcement also mentioned that the partnership will “substantially accelerate Sonya’s bold and ambitious commitment in assisting clients in the transition to a more sustainable way of working and living.”
Doconomy founder and Chief Executive Officer Mathias Wikström stated:
“The fast-growing network of committed companies, institutions and organizations teaming up for a greater good not only fill the Doconomy team with pride and hope, it fuels our ambition to work even harder and reach even more. Sonya, with their impressive customer focus and climate action willingness is a great example of how creative minds, companies and individuals together forms movements for a better tomorrow.”
The Sonya app and web combined service facilitates smooth and easy-to-use “handling of expense management for employees, management and accounting and gives a complete overview of the environmental impact.
As explained in the update, this is a service that can be integrated with all major ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)-systems. By implementing the Åland Index impact calculations methodology into the Sonya services the “clients will have an even more accurate summary of the environmental impact from their activities.”
Sonya’s Chairman Sveinung Totland remarked:
“To present the Doconomy partnership is like delivering a somewhat early Christmas gift to our customers and to the rest of the world. We are eager to do everything we possibly can to assist our clients in reaching their climate goals. We are convinced that a collaboration with Doconomy will help us gain momentum in our eagerness.”
