200,000 customers see their CO2 savings every week
Almost half our charity clients now have CO2 savings displayed on their colour customer display units, (CDUs), currently reaching around 200,000 customers every week. That number will steadily rise as we roll out CO2 on the CDU to several other charities in 2024/25.
“We’re really excited to be rolling out CO2 on the CDU across all 264 shops. Customers see that every time they purchase a donated item they’re helping the environment.”
Nick Smith, Retail Director, Age UK, 2024
Three ways we show charitys’ CO2 and landfill savings
1 At the Till
Every second-hand purchase shows the CO2 saving on the customer facing display.
2 On the App
Total CO2 savings for all your charity shops on the app’s Green tile, and donor’s individual CO2 savings from sales of their donated items in the Awards tile
3 Green Stats Report
Our Green Stats by Report shows your charity’s total landfill and CO2 savings. You can view each shop department’s savings by area, division or total shops.

What do charity retailers think?
“Being able to tell a customer how much CO2 they’ve just saved by buying second hand rather than new is really effective. It’s a very direct way to communicate the environmental benefits of charity shops.”
