FourTwoThree and CFP Green Buildings announce strategic partnership to accelerate sustainable financing opportunities for SMEs

SME resilience and climate action platform FourTwoThree is a joint venture of Standard Chartered, NatWest, and NAB. Together with leading sustainability solutions provider CFP Green Buildings, FourTwoThree today announced a strategic partnership to help banks integrate building-level sustainability intelligence directly into their SME portfolios.

Partnership enables banks to drive sustainable SME financing

The collaboration between FourTwoThree and CFP Green Buildings will enable banks all over the world to better assess climate risk, unlock transition-finance opportunities, and deliver tailored sustainability solutions to SME customers – all within their existing digital ecosystems.

Integrating building-level sustainability intelligence

Under the partnership, CFP Green Buildings’ market-leading data on energy performance, retrofit potential, financial savings, and greenhouse gas reduction will be integrated into FourTwoThree’s SME digital engagement platform. The combined solution will allow financial institutions to:

• Map complete sustainability performance across combined SME business and Real Estate asset portfolios
• Engage SME customers, better helping them to identify opportunities to both reduce their emissions, save on energy costs and increase the longer-term asset value of their buildings.
• Further support compliance with EU, UK and international sustainability disclosure frameworks and standards (including CSRD, ISSB and PCAF).
• Make business and asset level insights available to corporates, governments or other reputable institutions that rely on SMEs as customers, suppliers or constituents. 

Leadership perspectives on the partnership

“Banks and businesses of all sizes are under increasing pressure to turn sustainability targets into measurable value,” said Glyn Baker, CEO of FourTwoThree. “Partnering with CFP Green Buildings gives our banking clients a seamless way to integrate asset-level building data and identify tangible opportunities to support their SME customers.”

“Our mission is to make every building sustainable, and collaboration is essential to achieve that,” added Bram Adema, Managing Director at CFP Green Buildings. “Through the integration of our expertise with FourTwoThree’s platform, banks gain the intelligence to accelerate real-estate portfolio transition and guide SME customers through every step of their journey to net zero.”

Global rollout and next steps

The joint solution will be available to existing and new banking partners globally, with initial pilots planned for early 2026. Both organisations are committed to advancing sustainable finance by turning complex data into actionable insights for lenders, investors, and their customers to accelerate the global transition towards sustainable buildings and businesses.
