HANGZHOU, China, Sept 8 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ant Financial has been named #6 in Fortune's third annual Change the World list, which highlights companies that are "making measurable progress addressing important social problems...as a core part of their business strategy." Ant, a first-time entrant and the highest ranked Asia-headquartered company on the list, was recognized for the environmental impact of Ant Forest, the world's largest platform for tracking individuals' carbon footprint.

Ant Forest allows users to collect "energy points" through their actions in the real world that can be used to grow virtual and, ultimately, real trees. To date, 230 million users of Alipay, Ant's flagship payments app, have activated their Ant Forest account. Ant Financial and its partners, including environmental NGOs the SEE Foundation and China Green Foundation, have thus far planted 10.25 million trees, equivalent to a 1.22 million-ton reduction in CO2 emissions.
