National Australia Bank partners Greener to reduce small business climate emissions

National Australia Bank (NAB) has partnered with the start-up Greener to offer its small business customers access to Greener for Business, a digital solution focused on sustainability.
Greener for Business, launched recently, provides small businesses with a step-by-step climate action plan, offering guidance, tools, and resources to help reduce their climate impact and work towards achieving net-zero emissions. The emphasis is on addressing issues related to packaging, waste, and logistics emissions.
During the solution’s development, more than 60 of NAB’s small business customers participated in a pilot program. Participants were highly engaged, valued the guidance provided, and expressed a willingness to recommend the digital solution.
NAB’s data indicates that one in five small businesses plan to invest in improving their sustainability over the next two years, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of environmental sustainability.
Ana Marinkovic, NAB Executive for Business Direct and Small Business, acknowledges that despite economic challenges, many small businesses are recognizing the value of making smart investments and prioritizing environmental sustainability.
NAB previously led a seed funding round for Greener through its venture capital arm, NAB Ventures, which raised AUD 4 million and also involved Australian investment firm RealVC.
