United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Netto uses the SDGs to provide a framework for how to conduct our sustainable business practices. We're proud to contribute to positive change in the fields of banking, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and sustainable buildings.
Netto and the SDGs
We've outlined our focus areas to play our part in advancing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
7. Affordable and Clean Energy
We enable banks to fund renewable energy projects, ensuring sustainable transitions for real-estate properties.
9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Our software facilitates green financing for infrastructure innovation, promoting sustainable building practices.
11. Sustainable Cities and Communities
Netto supports green loan creation which drives energy efficiency and sustainable real-estate development.
12. Responsible Consumption and Production
Netto helps track and advise on sustainable investments, aligning banking portfolios with environmentally responsible practices.
13. Climate Action
Netto empowers banks to align their financing with carbon-neutral targets, driving progress toward net-zero by 2050.
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Netto fosters collaboration between banks, businesses, and governments by providing transparency and tools for sustainable finance, enabling banks to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement.
We have ambitious goals for 2025 and beyond.
Net-zero
We are committed to being a net-zero emissions business, setting a benchmark for sustainability for our partners in green finance.
Banks
Financial institutions have ambitious net-zero targets for 2030 and 2050. We aim to partner with as many as possible as we aim to enhance green loan portfolios and drive sustainable transformations in real-estate investment.
Green loans
We help banks identify green loan opportunities within their real-estate portfolios. These loans fund eco-friendly building projects, reduce emissions, and support sustainable development.
Industry initiatives
Banks are increasingly motivated to achieve net-zero goals as part of their commitment to sustainability, regulatory requirements, and growing demand from investors and customers for climate action.
Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA)
Convened by the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), this alliance brings together banks worldwide committed to aligning their lending and investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 2050. Members set intermediate targets every five years to ensure progress.
Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ)
This umbrella initiative, launched ahead of COP26, includes the NZBA as well as other financial sector coalitions. GFANZ aims to mobilize trillions of dollars toward achieving global net-zero emissions and supports banks, insurers, and investors in aligning their operations with climate goals.
We're aiming for Zero
Founded in Norway in 2023, Netto was created to drive the banking and real-estate industries toward adopting green finance practices and achieving net-zero emissions. Learn more about our mission and journey on our About Us page.
