ICYMI: We were at Money20/20 last week, and interest in climate tech was through the roof! As banks and energy retailers face increasing pressure to report the energy and fuel emissions of their customers, we've launched a unique solution that includes advanced energy models to measure portfolio emissions and offers a fully customisable, embeddable web app that empowers customers to measure and reduce their carbon footprint. "The buzz around climate tech really was palpable. While climate change presents real challenges, it’s also a huge opportunity for financial services companies to lead the charge in sustainability. Solutions like Cogo can help institutions take meaningful action, turning climate reporting into a strategic advantage," concludes Ben Gleisner.

We've been working with BDO in New Zealand to offer access to Cogo’s Carbon Manager for business clients.  Here's what Kris Karauria (COO, BDO Gisborne) had to say about our partnership: "The beauty of a tool like Cogo's Carbon Manager is how simple it makes getting started. For us, this was a key consideration for engaging with Cogo. For our small and medium sized businesses wanting to get started with carbon accounting, costing and resources can be significant barriers and we see this tool as critical in breaking down the barriers for taking that first step. The approach also recognises that the problems we are facing won't be solved individually or by being mandated to do so - working collaboratively across sectors like finance, banking and technology gives us the best chance to deliver positive climate impact at scale. " We're proud to be working together to make carbon accounting simple. ✅ More > https://lnkd.in/g9GyjiHZ (Carbon Manager is available - so far - to BDO Northland, BDO Gisborne and BDO Wellington business customers.)

"During Hong Kong FinTech Week 2024, regulatory and financial leaders demonstrated their commitment to the responsible and intelligent adoption of technologies, especially AI and tokenisation, to build a more trustworthy and inclusive financial world," said Cogo's Terry Ng. He adds that in his keynote, Mr Kang Qu - Managing Director, Sustainability Strategy Bank of China (Hong Kong) - shared that the bank was enabling customers to lead on a more sustainable lifestyle through their banking partners. "Cogo is proud to be supporting this vision and proud to support #BOCHK and other banks globally to go on this journey, together," said Terry. Up next: Josh Dry will be at Singapore FinTech Festival.
