Mastercard contributes to a sustainable future in everything we do, every day. Our global efforts involve advancing corporate sustainability programs, conducting business in an open and transparent way and promoting environmental stewardship in our business and beyond.
We view environmental stewardship as a responsibility to manage our footprint and an opportunity to contribute solutions beyond our business to some of the world’s biggest challenges.
As part of our commitment to being a force for good in the world, we advance social sustainability in every aspect of our workforce, partnerships, services and products.
Ethical and responsible operations are embedded in our core values and daily work. Our independent board structure and robust risk management guide us in maintaining the highest business standards.
The Network Effect
Businesses are part of the global ecosystem. And ecosystems, by definition, require balance and diversity. They also require a point of view larger than oneself and longer than the immediate future. They require an understanding that we are stronger as a connected whole than as isolated actors.
– Ajay Banga, president and CEO, Mastercard
