Challenge

Payhawk wanted to become a force for good. It was the right thing to do for our planet, they were already pursuing B Corp status. But how could they make climate change relevant to expense management?

Managing corporate spend, Payhawk found themselves poised to help solve one of the biggest ESG headaches to date: scope 3 emission reporting. Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions in the value chain, including operational spending like travel, transportation, and purchased goods. They’re a nightmare to track, but measurable using spend-based emission calculations.

Payhawk found an ESG problem it could help solve. They asked their customers if they wanted an emissions reporting feature within their spend management platform, and 85% said yes. They had the spend data, they just needed a partner who understood emission calculations.

Solution: Payhawk Green

Having integrated Lune’s API, Payhawk now automatically calculates the CO₂e emissions of every card purchase.

By partnering with Lune, Payhawk unlocked quality calculations anchored in the GHG Protocol. Calculations that were report-ready for corporate accounting, and decision-useful for pinpointing decarbonisation opportunities. With driving climate action being key, Payhawk could also add high quality carbon removal to its roadmap with Lune’s end-to-end API integration.

In just two weeks, Payhawk had plugged into Lune’s API. It was quick and seamless. And just like that, they were ready to start winning deals.

Result: Boosting the bottom line

Driving climate action alone was a win for Payhawk, but emission reporting was also a commercial opportunity. Now, more than 200 of Payhawk's customers are leveraging Lune’s emission calculations.

Driving revenue, fast

Taking just two weeks to implement, Payhawk snatched several quick wins. In six months, over 200 customers have adopted the new feature — leaving their competitors scrambling to catch up.

CUSTOMER QUOTE

Through speaking with our customers we learned that many wanted help understanding the CO₂e emissions related to their company spend. Working with Lune, we’ve brought that to life quickly and easily.

CUSTOMER QUOTE

My biggest anxiety about finding a partner was whether they were good at both emission calculations and carbon offsetting.

Sustainability is a tough market, riddled with poor investments that end up on the news. I used to work in climate projects, so when I came across Lune I knew they were a credible partner for Payhawk.
