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.

Greenway's promise is simple: 1% of every transaction paid with our business cards is donated to the Greenway Foundation. No checkbox, no manual calculation. The impact is automatic, traced, and consolidated in your back office. This mechanism, called 1% For All®, turns an existing spending stream (mobility, meals, purchases) into a measurable contribution to a CSR policy, without any additional budget.


Three things to remember:
  • 1% For All® is a contractual mechanism: every transaction triggers an automatic donation to the Greenway Foundation, with no action required from the user.
  • Funds are directed toward sustainable mobility and inclusion projects, published and audited.
  • The company receives a consolidated impact statement per entity and per period. That data feeds directly 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 and logged transaction by transaction. There is no rounding, no optional end-of-month donation, no checkbox to tick in the app. Every payment, whether it's a fuel top-up, a meal voucher, a toll tag passage, or a hotel night, automatically generates 1% for the Greenway Foundation.

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 are already spending every month on mobility, meals, travel, and off-PO purchases. 1% For All® requires no additional budget: it converts an existing expense into a measurable contribution. This is the difference between a declarative CSR policy and an operational one, embedded in the financial cycle.

For a CFO, the maths is straightforward. 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 for documented, publishable, and CSRD-reportable impact. The return is not strictly financial: it is reputational, HR-driven (employer brand), and regulatory (CSRD compliance).

The Greenway Foundation relay

Funds collected through 1% For All® are allocated by the Greenway Foundation to sustainable mobility and inclusion projects. Project selection is published, results are documented, and the Foundation's board, independent from Greenway, validates all allocations. This governance ensures the commitment is not a marketing claim but a verifiable mechanism.

In practice, supported projects may include: funding EV charging stations in rural areas, electric mobility training programmes for young people, or co-financing cargo bike fleets for local non-profits. Each donor company receives an annual report detailing how the funds were used, an essential piece 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 on their contributions to environmental and social objectives. 1% For All® provides pre-structured data: total contributed amount, breakdown by project, alignment with SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and the associated tax credit calculation.

For a company subject to CSRD, this native traceability eliminates the time-consuming manual consolidation work that typically accompanies sustainability reporting. The impact is documented at source, the transaction itself, rather than reconstructed 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 offering: every transaction made with a Greenway corporate card automatically generates 1% for the Greenway Foundation. There is nothing to activate or configure.

Can I deduct this contribution from my corporate tax?

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

Are the funded projects verifiable?

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

Is it compatible with CSRD reporting?

Yes. The impact statement provided by Greenway is structured to integrate directly into the ESG indicators of your non-financial reporting (ESRS E1, S1 standards).
