Doconomy to provide CO₂ Emission Visualization to Tokyo’s Earth hacks Marché
Doconomy presented its digital tool, the 2030 Calculator, with great success at Earth hacks Marche, which was held in Setagaya, Tokyo.
STOCKHOLM/TOKYO, August 2, 2022 — The 2030 Calculator measures the carbon footprint of products based on their emissions from production and transport to the point of sale.
Earth hacks Marché is organized by Earth hacks, a co-created platform by Hakuhodo’s new business development organization, Mirai no Jigyoshitsu, and Mitsui & Co. The event aimed to promote decarbonization through the actions of individual consumers.

The Marché highlighted sustainable products made from waste materials and substandard food materials that would otherwise be discarded. By showing the environmental values of sustainable products clearly, the event aimed to offer a new choice for consumers that contributes to decarbonization.
Doconomy’s booth at the event introduced visitors to the Lifestyle Calculator 2.0 experience, which allowed users to measure their emissions rendered by their daily activities. Doconomy also presented the Aland Index, the globally leading digital tool that translates financial transactions into CO₂ impact. The team helped visitors reflect on their consumption behavior and how they contribute to climate change.
