Creating a more sustainable future is at the heart of everything we do

Every day, we help businesses and organisations decarbonise and digitise their operations. We do this by making it easy to access funding for solar, energy-efficiency equipment and smart technologies via our range of payment solutions.

We know that over a quarter of carbon emissions come from electricity production. By helping organisations switch to solar and other energy-efficiency technologies, faster, we’re helping to reduce emissions today – as well as accelerating our transition to a carbon-free future.

So far, we’ve helped over 9,000 organisations to decarbonise and digitise their operations. It’s our ambition to fund $1b in clean-energy technologies by 2030.

Our Net Zero commitment

Reducing carbon emissions is hard-wired into our product range, but we don’t stop there.

We’re proud to be working on our own roadmap to achieve Net Zero as a business, beginning with a commitment to addressing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025.[1]

One Percent initiative

We contribute 1% of our funding revenue to projects that benefit our planet and our community. Every year, we recognise and promote projects that address climate change and promote sustainable solutions.

Our current project with the educational not-for-profit organisation Cool.org will help schools worldwide educate their students about sustainability by developing learning materials about energy consumption and decarbonisation.

Volunteering for social and environmental good

Each Smart Ease team member volunteers two days per year in their local community to support meaningful projects that contribute to better social or environmental outcomes. 

Team members nominate the projects in their communities that align with these criteria.
