With&#13;<br \/>\na large number of government-linked and large corporations in the region&#13;<br \/>\nembarking on achieving net zero emissions by 2030, regional and local&#13;<br \/>\nauthorities including businesses are scaling up their efforts to support the&#13;<br \/>\nreduction of emissions. This has created a global demand for green and sustainable&#13;<br \/>\nfinancing. However, access to affordable loans remains the key challenge for&#13;<br \/>\nSMEs today.<\/p>\n<p><b>The GreenMoolah Platform<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The goal of GreenMoolah&#13;<br \/>\nis to provide a crowdfunding platform to assist SMEs who have been left out to&#13;<br \/>\nunderstand and embark on projects within the ESG framework, as well as to showcase&#13;<br \/>\nto investors on how sustainable financing can be profitable. This not only&#13;<br \/>\nprovides positive contributions to the environment, but also helps investors to&#13;<br \/>\nembrace the idea of sustainable financing. Such efforts are consistent with&#13;<br \/>\ncommitments under the Singapore Green Plan 2030 to advance Singapore&#8217;s national&#13;<br \/>\nagenda on sustainable development, and places emphasis on the importance of&#13;<br \/>\ndriving high-integrity green finance. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ms Melissa Tan, CEO&#13;<br \/>\nof Wah &amp; Hua Pte Ltd and the Chairman for the Waste Management and&#13;<br \/>\nRecycling Association of Singapore said, &#8220;With over 70 million Small and Medium&#13;<br \/>\nEnterprises (SMEs) within the Southeast Asia region and accounting for over 140&#13;<br \/>\nmillion employees, there is an increasing need for businesses to adopt&#13;<br \/>\nsustainable business models. However, with limitations of financing from&#13;<br \/>\ntraditional banks, these SMEs are facing challenges to transform and accelerate&#13;<br \/>\ntheir businesses. In the long term, this will affect the sustainability of&#13;<br \/>\nbusiness and even the livelihood of their employees. The pressure is more&#13;<br \/>\nevident in the current pandemic where businesses are forced to shut down. Hence,&#13;<br \/>\nriding on the peer-to-peer lending concept, this platform could help SMEs who are&#13;<br \/>\nunable to meet the traditional banks financing criteria.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leveraging on the&#13;<br \/>\nGreenTrust Framework, a digital utility spearheaded by MoolahSense as the key&#13;<br \/>\nunderlying technology for interoperability and verification, end-to-end&#13;<br \/>\nfinancing for SMEs on the GreenMoolah platform can be instantly authenticated,&#13;<br \/>\ndigitally processed and provenance tracing obtained simply by scanning a QR&#13;<br \/>\ncode that&#8217;s embedded into the Digital Certificates.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that&#13;<br \/>\nmost SME owners will want to play their part in the efforts towards&#13;<br \/>\nsustainability. However, as business owners, their primary focus would be on profitability.&#13;<br \/>\nWith limited resources in both manpower and finance, and insufficient related&#13;<br \/>\nexperience, it makes embarking on transformation even more challenging for&#13;<br \/>\nthem. Through MoolahSense, the green framework we have developed and in the&#13;<br \/>\nnear future digitalized with the use of technology like blockchain and IOT, it&#13;<br \/>\nmakes understanding assessments and reporting easier&#8221; said Andrew Quek,&#13;<br \/>\nInvestment Director of MoolahSense.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to&#13;<br \/>\nthe ease of application for crowdfunding towards sustainable projects, the&#13;<br \/>\nintroduction of the GreenMoolah platform aims to facilitate the adoption of&#13;<br \/>\nmore sustainable projects within a society. With its integration and&#13;<br \/>\ndigitalization processes, GreenMoolah is able to reduce the steps needed for&#13;<br \/>\napplications and at the same time, educate businesses owners on an easy to&#13;<br \/>\nadopt and transparent process, so that they are able to return and use the&#13;<br \/>\nGreenMoolah platform in the future. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-11-08\/103574\/moolahsense-singapore-empowers-profitable-sustainability-by-launching-greenmoolah-to-support-smes\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE &#8211;\u00a0Media OutReach\u00a0-&#13; 8 November 2021 &#8211; MoolahSense announces the launch of GreenMoolah, a platform focused&#13; on accelerating green and sustainable financing in Singapore and the region.
