Going Green, One Digital Document at a Time: How we are trying to lower our impact by going paperless

We are trying to do things differently at Naked Finance. We approach financial advice holistically and with the aim to educate our clients. We practice what we preach and match our employees KiwiSaver contributions to promote smart investing. And we have moved every part of our business to be paperless to lower our impact on the planet. Which makes us proud to announce a significant milestone in our journey to minimise our environmental impact: by going paperless, we have saved a staggering 86,400 pages and counting.

This number isn't static; it grows with every piece of financial advice we provide. Every client meeting, every report, and every piece of correspondence we handle digitally adds to this positive tally, helping us reduce our footprint on the planet.

Our motivation is simple: we want to be as green as we can be. The financial industry has traditionally relied on reams of paper, from lengthy application forms to voluminous reports. We decided to challenge that norm. By embracing digital tools and cloud-based systems, we’ve streamlined our processes, enhanced security, and, most importantly, drastically cut down on waste.

There is one notable exception to our paperless rule, and it’s one we’re required to follow. For our UK Pension Transfer business, the policy of the UK pension companies themselves mandates that all documentation is received in hard copy. This is a regulatory step outside of our control, but we continue to handle everything else surrounding these cases within our digital framework.

Our commitment to the planet is as important as our commitment to your financial future. While we navigate the necessary paperwork for pension transfers, our core business operations are proudly paper-free. We’re proving that you can build a secure financial future without costing the earth.

Join us in making a difference. By choosing Naked Finance, you’re not just getting expert advice; you’re partnering with a company dedicated to reducing our negative impact on our beautiful planet.
