- 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.
