Flowe is a Benefit company, B Corp and Carbon Neutral of the Mediolanum Group, which aims to educate young people in terms of humanovability (innovation, sustainability, and human centricity). In this age of infinite possibilities, most people are not sure what to do when feeling stuck or anxious, so Flowe created an app that empowers them to move forward, take control of their life and their finances and build a happier future. Flowe believes that, just as oceans can change drop by drop, so can our world and our society – one person at the time. People are always at the center of the journey to build a sustainable future of value through innovation. Flowe aims to build a world where individual BetterBeing translate into common good. For that reason, it wants to help its users to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, fighting the climate crisis and reducing the impact generated by their actions. Flowe is a payment account that gives you the chance to monitor and be aware of the CO2 produced by your purchases, and compensates for it by planting trees in Guatemala, thanks to its partners zeroCO2 and Doconomy. Through its mobile app and growing partner ecosystem, Flowe wants to contribute to create a world where individuals’ eudaemonia fuels a BetterBeing Economy.
