Helping future-proof the planet
For years, we’ve helped financial institutions future-proof their operations. And to ensure these institutions stand the test of time, we’re taking bold climate action – helping future-proof our planet alongside our worldwide network of Backbasers, partners, and peers.
But sustainability is more than just a buzzword to us, and change starts from within.
That’s why we’re measuring our emissions across our entire value chain, in collaboration with Normative, our partner on the net-zero journey. We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and we’ve even become a participant in the United Nations Global Compact.
We’re currently offsetting our carbon emitted in 2022 by investing in carbon removal and avoidance projects, and we’ve already taken great strides towards our net-zero goal. But we’re just getting started.
Taking action
We’re deeply committed to offsetting our environmental impact across our full value chain. We’ve got a number of exciting projects in the works, but here’s a look at what we’re doing now:
Reducing energy use
in our offices and switching to renewable energy, where possible
Engaging with our suppliers
to set clear expectations and drive sustainable climate action
Minimizing our travel
and encouraging less carbon-intensive means of transportation
Continuous monitoring
of our greenhouse gas emissions across the globe
Going green across an entire company doesn’t happen overnight. It takes years of full dedication from senior leadership, all the way down. But we’re passionate about our carbon net-zero goal, and we’re excited to see what we accomplish next, together.

Our vision
We’re also determined to empower all Backbasers with the tools and tips they need to reduce their own environmental footprint. And soon, we’ll begin working with our partners and peers so we can take collective action together. In doing so, we hope to expand our impact and unite all of us around a shared vision of a net-zero economy.
