Greener for Business – Sustainability Made Simple for Businesses

Small and medium-sized businesses are responsible for almost 40% of Australia’s emissions. But with rising cost pressures, a national skills shortage and reduced customer demand during a cost of living crisis, sustainability isn’t a priority. In fact, 98% of Aussie businesses are SMBs who are too stressed about daily challenges to prioritise sustainability. There is also a mindset that sustainable solutions are too expensive, time-consuming and out of their hands.

Greener motivates SMBs to take meaningful steps towards reducing their emissions by starting with quick wins that can provide instant cost savings. After a short sustainability assessment, businesses receive a personalised climate action plan that breaks things down into simple, actionable steps and removes the barriers to taking action. Exclusive member deals on energy, waste, transport, packaging and logistics make completing each action easy and more affordable. Comparison tools allow users to calculate savings and switch to sustainable solutions in minutes. Businesses can then use marketing assets to share their progress and reach new customers in the Greener app.

6 months since launching, Greener for Business has saved its members over $780k while avoiding a whopping 7,100 tonnes of CO2. That’s like taking 3,500 cars off the road. A partnership with Origin has helped support Aussie renewables with hundreds of businesses switching to 100% GreenPower. The ripple effect of these Greener businesses throughout the broader business community is taking hold – they’re proving to their peers that being green can be easy and cost-effective. And, with 9/10 Aussie customers already expecting businesses to be taking action to address climate change, being Greener is helping businesses future-proof their tomorrows, today.
