Mortgage broker CLS Money has teamed up with with More:Trees and Nivo in an environmental initiative.
The new partnership will see a tree planted on behalf of clients for every mortgage completed in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
More:Trees work with tree planting partners all across the world to restore healthy forests. The platform enables businesses to plant trees automatically by integrating with their software. It means that a tree can be planted automatically at the click of a button, whilst immediately notifying clients via the CLS Money App, powered by Nivo.
Clayton Shipton, managing director of CLS Money, said: “Climate change is our greatest threat, and it’s important for companies to be as green and eco-friendly as possible.
“One tree can make a huge difference, so every time we help a client with a purchase or re-mortgage on a property, we want to do our bit and plant a tree. The more trees we plant, the more we can help.
“It’s great to be able to give back to the environment and support communities, and it’s our responsibility as a business to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise emissions. Working with Nivo & More:Trees allows us to do just this, and ties in seamlessly with our vision of being at the forefront of using new technology and innovation.
“Lenders and brokers can get involved with this initiative so we are doing all we can as an industry to protect the environment. The platform gives us visibility of how many trees we’ve planted so we can see the effect being made, and it would be great to get as many fellow businesses on board. Together we can build a forest!”
David Smith, CRO at Nivo, added: “As a sector we can and must do more to improve our carbon footprint. Nivo removes all paper, including documents that require signing, and puts communication right in your customer’s pocket. It’s great that Clayton and his team are also now using messaging to make a difference to the environment. Apps and Trees, would have thought that?”
