Future becomes the first fintech company to partner with a major music festival to inspire fans to offset events they love

SILVER SPRING, Md., June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Future, a climate-focused fintech company, is proud to announce its innovative Carbon Offset Partnership with AEG's Electric Forest for 2023. This partnership invites the Forest Family to play an active role in reducing the carbon impact of the festival, while also providing access to exciting perks before, during, and after the event.

This novel partnership focuses on decreasing Electric Forest's carbon footprint in two essential ways:

Future will offset Electric Forest's Scope 1 and 2 emissions for every fan who becomes a FutureCard member.

Forest Family Future members can unite to offset an additional 10,000 tons of carbon as a community by completing Missions in the Future app - over tenfold the total carbon emissions of all fuel used at Electric Forest. Future's Missions reward fans for switching to great climate-friendly options – from electric rideshares and scooters, to refurbished technology, EVs, heat pumps, and renewable electricity. Every ton of CO2e members reduce gets tracked and verified, and Future pays $90 for each ton of carbon reduced.

The partnership offers additional rewards for those signing up for and using FutureCard for Electric Forest purchases, including 6% cashback on all merchandise purchased at the Official Forest Goods stores on site and 25% cashback on Official Electric Forest Shuttle passes purchased online to inspire more fans to take the shuttle and lower the carbon emissions of their fan journey.

FutureCard is a free Visa debit card that rewards its members with benefits that contribute positively to our planet. Cardholders enjoy 5%+ cashback at over 50,000 climate-friendly businesses, including all thrift stores, bike shops, scooters, public transit, and electric vehicle charging, and 1% cashback on all other purchases. With no fees and FDIC-insured deposits up to $250,000*, Future incentivizes its members to switch to more environmentally friendly alternatives.

Future and AEG are working together to build a sustainable Electric Forest!
