Innovating low-carbon products and services Our customers and partners want to understand their environmental impact, reduce their carbon footprint, and play a part in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Across the company, we’re enhancing our capabilities to support them. For our corporate clients, we offer tools such as our Carbon Offset Referral Suite. The suite launched in June 2022 and provides US corporate customers with a curated list of carbon offset providers who can help them manage their footprint via offset solutions that include investments in large-scale carbon removal and reduction projects and avoidance projects. This year, we’re developing new offerings as we work toward our goal to pilot low-carbon product innovations by the end of 2022. With our Shop with Purpose program, which won our enterprise-wide Innovation Challenge in 2020, we provided customers with special promotions through Amex Offers with select Certified B Corp ™ companies and other brands committed to making a difference during Earth Month in 2022. BACKING OUR CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS As climate action increases in importance for our customers and partners, we’re exploring new ways to deliver responsible products and services, help our customers make informed decisions, and promote responsible travel and conscientious consumption. To reinforce this, in 2021, we set a goal to pilot low-carbon product innovations by the end of 2022. 17.
