Empowering Banks and SMEs to Drive Sustainable Growth and Climate Action
FourTwoThree, a global, bank-backed sustainability data and engagement platform and The Disruption House (TDH), have announced a strategic partnership that will help Banks to unlock the $50 trillion SME transition finance opportunity. The partnership combines FourTwoThree’s unique digital SME engagement platform with TDH’s advisory and research services to help Banks to optimise their engagement with SMEs and their value chains. This transition financing opportunity will be achieved by simplifying Scope 3 carbon footprint calculation and enabling seamless data sharing between Banks and their value chain.
The Disruption House specialises in data acquisition and analytics that deliver actionable insights at the intersection of sustainability and operational resilience to help businesses achieve greater success. Combining actionable and reliant data from SME engagement has the potential to vastly simplify GHG Scope 3 measurement and attribution, create more opportunity for deploying transition financing and enable better institutional risk management.
The partnership will empower Banks and other institutions with an integrated SME customer journey, from awareness and engagement to action, all backed by comprehensive reporting for financed emissions. Combining automated insights with streamlined advice, the partnership helps businesses access practical sustainability strategies with clear commercial benefit.
FourTwoThree and TDH Unite to Accelerate SME Sustainability
“Climate action becomes possible when we make it accessible” says Glyn Baker, CEO at FourTwoThree. “With regulatory, shareholder and customer pressure building on large enterprises we know that the demands on their SME networks are increasing. SMEs play a crucial role in the global economy, representing the majority of commerce, employment and GDP, and we want to help those businesses to accelerate sustainable global transition. Connecting SMEs to better support, accessible financing and emerging climate innovation will simply make them better and more engaged customers, suppliers and employers.”
“This strategic partnership with FourTwoThree marks another substantial evolution in The Disruption House’s growth and development,” says Richard Cummings, Chief Commercial Officer of The Disruption House. “Although the narrative around sustainability is continuously shifting, the demand for real action has never been higher. Connecting SMEs to better sustainability support and accessible financing will simply make them better businesses. As a team, we are delighted to be working collaboratively with FourTwoThree to give Banks, Enterprises and SMEs the best tools and practices to help them trade and grow in an effective, sustainable, and competitive way” concluded Richard.
