Merchants can now track their emissions and access voluntary carbon markets to mitigate their negative impact on the environment following a new partnership between the ESG-focused digital infrastructure provider, Fils and Telr, the online payment gateway.
An increased green effort has sometimes resulted in unintentional greenwashing. However, following the collaboration between Telr and Fils, organisations will be able to demonstrate their positive impact on the environment with robust reporting functionality, reduced greenwashing, and the encouragement of businesses to invest in sustainable initiatives through Fils’ marketplace.
Telr facilitates transactions in over 30 currencies and supports over 120 languages. It enables businesses to connect to all payment schemes and manage financial and business services as a one-stop shop for ecommerce solutions. Telr’s collaboration with Fils will enable organissations to track and mitigate emissions seamlessly, increasing the sustainability of payment operations across the globe.
Nameer Khan, CEO and founder of Fils, said: “Today’s exciting partnership with Telr will make a real impact in tackling the issues of climate change, providing access to carbon markets via our robust and transparent infrastructure. Our technology-first approach to sustainable action enables SMEs, large corporates and other organisations to seamlessly embed sustainability throughout their global operations.”

The new Fils integration adds to Telr’s existing suite of services, aiming to elevate e-commerce businesses seamlessly and efficiently with a one-stop-shop philosophy.
