| Story | The campaign focused on SDG goal eight, 'Decent Work and Economic Growth'. |
| Problem | Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, almost 10 million refugees from the occupied territories crossed the Polish border. Many found shelter in major Polish cities that were already overcrowded, causing rental hikes and increased competition for jobs - all amidst an unprecedented rise in inflation. |
| Result | Knowing that smaller towns afford more opportunities, Mastercard introduced the 'Where to Settle' digital platform, a comprehensive digital tool that aggregates job and real estate data, anonymous Mastercard spending insights, as well as data from the Polish Central Statistical Office. Of the 1.5 million refugees who have settled in Poland thus far, 20% have used the platform to find Polish cities outside of the major metropolitan areas to make a fresh start. The tool upholds Mastercard’s 'Data for Good' commitment to leverage data responsibly in the service of society. |
