About Square
In 2009, many businesses had no way of accepting credit cards, so Square set out to find a solution and invented the first mobile card reader of its kind. Now all types and sizes of business could take payments anywhere, at any time, and Square’s commitment to economic empowerment was born.
This little card reader transformed how small businesses thrive, grow, and operate in the world. And it put Square on a path to be about more than just payments, providing tools and solutions needed to make the future into exactly what each business wants.
An Endless Evolution
Now over four million businesses around the world trust Square to run their day to day — from artists and small business owners to large international chains and developers. And with this presence around the globe, Square is committed to making progress on its global footprint, too.
By 2030, Square plans to be net zero carbon for all operations. From cutting and offsetting emissions to changing materials used and simplifying shipping, Square is constantly innovating in everything it does to not only empower the community but to honor every part of this planet.
Why We Chose GreenCircle
“GreenCircle certification was essential to achieving key verification milestones for our Square hardware devices which serve millions of businesses around the world. As we strive towards lowering the carbon-intensity and increasing the circularity of our products, it’s vital to our value chain partners and our own net zero by 2030 commitment to verify our progress along the way. GreenCircle has been an important touchpoint in that ongoing journey.”
— Neil Jorgensen, Global ESG Lead, Block Inc.
