Bridge Partners with Greenly to Reduce Carbon Footprint and Support Energy Transition

Bridge is a leading Open-Banking platform in Europe, enabling payments to be initiated, aggregated, standardized, and enriched with financial data in a secure manner. The company is developing a new financial ecosystem in Europe that is more open, innovative, and efficient. Bridge is connected to more than 200 financial institutions in Europe and has been successfully serving the Bankin' application and its 5.3 million individual and business users since 2011. Its algorithms and payment services are among the best performing on the market, and it offers a simple solution that meets all banking security standards.

Bridge, a leading Open-Banking platform in Europe, was seeking to reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to the energy transition. Despite being a 100% digital business, Bridge recognized the importance of adopting a low-carbon strategy. The company was keen to not only reduce its own emissions but also to play a role in the broader commitment to environmental sustainability. The challenge was to find a way to accurately measure and track its greenhouse gas emissions, and to integrate this process into its existing operations in a secure and efficient manner.

Bridge partnered with Greenly, a company that specializes in making greenhouse gas emissions assessments easy. Through this partnership, Bridge joined the Climate Act, a group of nearly 200 tech companies committed to the energy transition. Bridge made its open banking technology available to Greenly to consolidate and enrich the measurement of the energy impact of French and European companies. Companies wishing to measure their carbon impact could synchronize their bank accounts securely via Bridge Aggregation, and Greenly would then process this bank data to measure the carbon impact of each transaction. This automatic and easy process allowed Greenly to provide a simple login experience for businesses. Bridge also committed to continually improving its technologies and algorithms to contribute to the environmental awareness of companies, and to make these improvements directly available to Greenly.

• The partnership with Greenly has allowed Bridge to take a significant step towards reducing its carbon footprint and supporting the energy transition. By integrating its own technology with the impact measurement developed by Greenly, Bridge can now track its carbon emissions accurately and efficiently. This has not only helped Bridge to meet its own environmental goals, but has also enabled it to play a role in the broader commitment to environmental sustainability. The company is also using this partnership to educate its employees on carbon emissions through interactive quizzes and challenges, further embedding sustainability into its corporate culture.
