The 2022 Banking on the Planet Awards winners

The role the banking and finance sector plays in the fight against climate change is growing increasingly important. One can’t deny the pressures that are coming from consumers who demand more transparency, accountability and action.

Sustainability is becoming a priority for businesses of all kinds, including banking. But they cannot change their practices without the help of technology and data service providers, which are the main drivers of innovation in this sector and can bring the knowledge and expertise to facilitate an effective transition to a net zero economy.

Tearsheet’s inaugural Banking on the Planet awards recognize the companies brave enough to take the lead in developing the railways for incumbents to implement sustainable practices, and the banks and fintechs placing climate-aligned values within their business model.

Our 2022 winners include:

Best Green Finance Product: Doconomy

Doconomy is making carbon impact calculations accessible to global banks, driving conscious consumption. Its software enables transactional environmental impact calculations for global banks, allowing for millions of people to carry in their pockets the technology empowering them to track, measure, and reduce their carbon footprint.

Doconomy’s also developing an Impact Dashboard, a management/reporting tool for consumer credit portfolios that enables banks to aggregate the information provided to their consumers.

Best Green Finance/Fintech Partnership: Doconomy

Doconomy formed numerous partnerships in the banking and fintech space. Its strategy was to partner with leading banks, using a one-to-many approach for distribution, to build automated environmental impact calculations globally.
