We are delighted to team up with AXA who shares our commitment to tackling climate change. Together, we are not only rewarding consumers' simple green actions for long-term behavioural changes, but also reinforcing sustainable consumption as they redeem green rewards on our platform. This partnership is a perfect example of how leaders could join forces in maximising impact to the wider community for the planet."

The "AXA Go Green Rewards"^[1] starts from 19 June 2023 until 18 August 2023.
