Air travel and other daily activities cause harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Building on the simplicity of IMPACT, investors can now use the Carbon Offsets tool to choose from common greenhouse gas emissions or enter a specific amount of carbon dioxide to offset. Interactive Brokers seamlessly makes the carbon credits available with the appropriate agencies, allowing investors to reduce all or part of their carbon footprint.

“Sustainability and environmental awareness are not isolated issues, they speak to a collective culture. A culture that recognizes the interconnected nature of our global community. As such, we continue to develop products that serve that collective culture,” said Will Peterffy, ESG Director at Interactive Brokers. “Carbon Offsets makes it easy for our clients to participate in the emerging collective culture dedicated to protecting our planet when they invest in companies that align with their values ​​through the IMPACT app.”

Interactive Brokers has partnered with Sustain.Life to provide emissions data for every carbon emitting activity available in the app. Sustain.Life’s SaaS platform helps companies across all industries reduce their environmental impact by providing ESG tools that enable the measurement and management of their carbon emissions. The Carbon Offsets Tool is available in the IMPACT App for IB IE, IB UK, IB HK and IB SG customers.
