The 1% For All® model: spend that funds impact

Greenway donates 1% of every transaction to the Greenway Foundation. See how the corporate card becomes a measurable CSR lever, integrated into CSRD reporting.

Listen to this article

Greenway's promise is simple: 1% of every transaction paid with our business cards goes to the Greenway Foundation. No checkbox, no manual calculation. The impact is automatic, tracked, and brought together in your back office. This mechanism is called 1% For All®. It turns spending you already have (mobility, meals, purchases) into a measurable contribution to a CSR policy, with no extra budget.


Three things to remember:
  • 1% For All® is set by contract. Every transaction triggers an automatic donation to the Greenway Foundation, with no action needed on your side.
  • Funds go to sustainable mobility and inclusion projects, which are published and audited.
  • The company gets a consolidated impact statement for each entity and period. This data feeds straight into CSRD reporting and the French philanthropy tax credit (60%)[1].

A transparent mechanism, written into the contract

Unlike "cashback" programs or empty CSR promises, 1% For All® is written into the contract. It is logged transaction by transaction. There is no rounding, no optional end-of-month donation, and no checkbox to tick in the app. Every payment automatically generates 1% for the Greenway Foundation. That includes a fuel top-up, a meal voucher, a toll tag passage, or a hotel night.

At the end of each billing cycle, the company receives three deliverables:

  • A consolidated impact statement, per entity, per period, and per spending category;
  • An amount eligible for the philanthropy tax credit (60% of the donated amount, capped at €20,000 or 0.5% of pre-tax revenue)[2];
  • CSRD-ready data, broken down by project (sustainable mobility, inclusion), ready to feed directly into ESG indicators.

Why it matters for the finance function

Procurement teams already spend every month on mobility, meals, travel, and off-PO purchases. 1% For All® needs no extra budget: it converts an existing expense into a measurable contribution. That is the difference between a CSR policy on paper and one that works in practice, built into the financial cycle.

For a CFO, the maths is simple. Take a mid-sized company with €500,000 in annual corporate card spend. 1% For All® generates €5,000 in annual contribution. With the 60% philanthropy tax credit, the net cost to the company is €2,000. In return, it gets impact that is documented, publishable, and reportable under CSRD. The return is not only financial. It also covers reputation, HR (employer brand), and regulation (CSRD compliance).

The Greenway Foundation relay

The Greenway Foundation allocates the funds collected through 1% For All® to sustainable mobility and inclusion projects. The project selection is published and results are documented. The Foundation's board is independent from Greenway and approves every allocation. This governance makes the commitment a mechanism you can verify, not a marketing claim.

In practice, supported projects may include funding EV charging stations in rural areas or electric mobility training programmes for young people. They may also include co-financing cargo bike fleets for local non-profits. Each donor company receives an annual report on how the funds were used. This report is a key document for stakeholder dialogue and CSR audits.

Impact is no longer an end-of-year report: it is generated with every payment.

CSRD and non-financial reporting: data that's ready to use

The CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requires companies to publish precise indicators. These cover their contributions to environmental and social goals. 1% For All® provides pre-structured data: total amount contributed, breakdown by project, alignment with SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and the related tax credit calculation.

Sustainability reporting usually means slow, manual consolidation work. For a company subject to CSRD, this built-in tracking removes that work. The impact is documented at source, in the transaction itself, instead of being rebuilt after the fact. That is what sets an integrated mechanism apart from a traditional corporate philanthropy approach.

All your questions about 1% For All®

Is 1% For All® optional?

No. It is a core part of the Greenway offer. Every transaction made with a Greenway corporate card automatically generates 1% for the Greenway Foundation. There is nothing to turn on or set up.

Can I deduct this contribution from my corporate tax?

Yes, under French law. The contribution qualifies for the philanthropy tax credit at 60% of the donated amount. The credit is capped at €20,000 or 0.5% of pre-tax revenue. The impact statement from Greenway serves as supporting documentation.

Are the funded projects verifiable?

Yes. Each year, the Greenway Foundation publishes the list of supported projects, the amounts allocated, and the results achieved. Its governance is independent from Greenway.

Is it compatible with CSRD reporting?

Yes. Greenway's impact statement is built to fit directly into the ESG indicators of your non-financial reporting (ESRS E1, S1 standards).
