EcoFy

🌱 Inspiration

Our inspiration came from a recent article about greenwashing 📰—a practice where companies overemphasize their environmental efforts to promote growth and increase profits.

🌍 What it does

We encourage users to adopt sustainable practices by offering resources to plan, track, and learn about sustainability. 🌟 Incentives like 2% cash back 💵 for meeting company sustainability standards and an easy-to-use ESG tracker through receipt uploads 📸 motivate customers to improve their habits.
