Red-Inc’s mission
So why did Red-Inc join Intuit in its commitment to advance climate action?
Red-Inc believes in using the power of collaboration to make a positive difference. And that‘s exactly what we’re doing by joining Intuit in their Climate Action Marketplace . A one-stop-shop dedicated to enabling small businesses to reduce their carbon emissions at scale.
The marketplace allows Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to take immediate action in replacing high-carbon emission activities with more sustainable solutions. The solutions are designed to be simple alternatives to typical business operations. Making it feasible for small businesses to change to more sustainable choices with no extra hassle, time or cost.
Why has Intuit placed such a strong focus on SMEs? Because they play a major role in every economy across the world. They represent 90% of all businesses, 50% of employment and produce 45% of the global GDP.
“As they are the backbone of the global economy, and we believe they will be critical contributors in solving the climate crisis” said Cassie Divine, Intuit Senior Vice President of QuickBooks Online.
Until recently, SMEs have been left behind when it comes to climate change solutions. Intuit’s Climate Action Marketplace and its partners present an opportunity to provide SMEs with a simplified and affordable pathway towards climate action, with the ambition of bringing SMEs together from around the world to drive collective impact.
