Building a Greener Planet

Building on its global sustainability efforts, Mastercard will reveal an installation dedicated to its Priceless Planet Coalition, which aims to plant 100 million trees worldwide over five years. The innovative concept, led by Mastercard and joined by Expo 2020 Dubai, will invite visitors to learn more about Mastercard’s efforts in bringing together governments, businesses, and consumers in combatting the effects of climate change, offering them an opportunity to become part of the network and contribute towards a greener future.

Expo visitors can also help contribute to a greener future by donating to Mastercard’s Priceless Planet Coalition upon checkout as an add-on feature as they purchase their tickets to the mega event.

Advancing Gender Equality

Supporting Expo 2020 Dubai’s commitment to creating a more equitable future, Mastercard will harness the platform to advance its efforts in driving gender equality around the world. The technology leader will be working closely with Expo 2020 Dubai to host a range of activities at the Women’s Pavilion to celebrate the successes of women leaders and offer a platform for female voices that will culminate in a legacy project to be jointly launched early next year.

The series will build on Mastercard’s ongoing efforts to support small businesses, helping them go digital and grow in an increasingly digital world.
