Announcing Our Partnership with Tide: Increasing Carbon Emission Awareness and Driving Decarbonisation in SME finance

Jun 4, 2024 | News

At Connect Earth, our mission is to make carbon data accessible to all businesses, regardless of their size. Today, we are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Tide, the leading digital business financial platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Together, we are embarking on a journey to empower SMEs to understand and manage their carbon footprint, driving decarbonisation in the SME banking sector.

 

Helping Businesses Gain Clarity on Their Carbon Footprint

One of the significant challenges SMEs face when it comes to sustainability commitments is gaining clarity on their carbon footprint. Many businesses lack the resources and expertise to prioritise sustainability effectively. Through our seamless integration with Tide’s platform, we aim to change this. Tide members will now have access to a user-friendly dashboard that provides clear insights into their environmental impact. This integration supports Pledge 3 of Tide’s Net Zero Plan, making it easier for Tide’s members to understand and manage their carbon footprint.

 

Partnering to Drive Decarbonisation in SME Finance

The Connect Earth-Tide partnership is a significant step towards driving decarbonisation in SME finance. By combining Tide’s extensive reach with our expertise, we are committed to helping businesses transition to more sustainable practices. Our collaboration is designed to provide SMEs with the tools and knowledge they need to reduce their carbon emissions and contribute to a low-carbon economy.

 

Simplifying Carbon Footprint Management for SMEs

Managing a carbon footprint can be a complex task, especially for small businesses. Our partnership with Tide aims to simplify this process. By integrating our environmental data into Tide’s banking services, we are enabling SMEs to make informed decisions effortlessly. Increased clarity will help Tide members take active steps towards managing and reducing their carbon footprint, aligning with Tide’s sustainability goals.

 

Setting New Industry Standards

We are proud to have Tide as Connect Earth’s flagship customer. This partnership not only marks a milestone for both companies but also sets a benchmark in the industry for integrating environmental data into financial services. As our flagship customer, Tide will lead the way in demonstrating how carbon measurement can be seamlessly woven into the management of financial admin, providing invaluable insights and paving the way for other institutions to follow.
