QUALCO
“ If you can benefit as many individuals as possible , you ' re also benefiting communities ,” adds Franklin . “ And , if we provide solutions that allow investors to make sensible decisions from an ESG perspective , it generally helps the wider society . We see this as an important overarching ethos for our solutions .”
Delivering value extends to the partner ecosystem To deliver its highly-valued services , QUALCO cannot go alone ; instead , it requires a quality ecosystem of partner organisations .
Over the last 12 months , the business set up a partners-and-alliances function to identify and onboard sales , technology and delivery partners and make the vision a reality . Technology partners become incumbent elements of the QUALCO ecosystem that is delivered to clients .
“ On the sales partner front ,” says Franklin , “ we ’ re really interested in working with organisations that are out discussing with clients how to improve and drive efficiencies , and then they would introduce us as a component part to deliver those business benefits and cost savings .”
HOW QUALCO HELPS CLIENTS ACHIEVE ESG GOALS
Clearly , ESG has become a massive topic of discussion at organisations of all sizes in recent years . QUALCO has been working hard to support banking and finance clients in achieving their ESG goals , particularly in the supply chain finance space .
“ We can help them understand where they can choose a factoring or invoice discounting market in the relative industries ,” says Franklin . “ By investing to discount or factor in particular industry sectors , they can demonstrate a greater commitment to supporting ESG and a greater level of corporate responsibility .”
Another essential solution – one falling into the governance bracket – is end-to-end visibility . QUALCO ’ s supply chain finance tech achieves full transparency from the supply point to the end-delivery point .
Franklin adds : “ Anybody in the trade finance space will have full governance and full visibility of what happens at the point of a sale as well as the point of selling final products into the marketplace .”
