Wallet Max aims to accelerate economic growth in local communities through the creation of sustainable growth opportunities with exclusive loyalty programs and fostering financial inclusion through educational resources and personalized rewards. Local businesses that align with sustainable development goals (SDGs) sign up for their program and are qualified by Wallet Max’s team. Approved businesses can then add their rewards, cashback offers, and other opportunities. The rewards are matched to consumer preferences.
Businesses and consumers can also join the Wallet Max community, Wallet Max Hub, or tap into financial wellness coaching opportunities for additional support. The Wallet Max Hub makes it possible to meet climate-conscious business leaders and consumers, learn about sustainability and sustainable growth from community members, be the first to hear about financial wellness events, discover strategic partnerships, validate your ideas, and spread awareness for your brand or cause.
Their signature eco-business networking event named, Emerald Summit, is held twice a year in April and October for women-led businesses focused on making a positive impact on the world and in partnership with everyday people. This year’s Emerald Summit will be held on Friday, October 27th, 2023 from 9AM to 5 PM EDT. The full-day, virtual event provides an incredible opportunity to hear from top industry experts, participate in engaging panel discussions, and attend interactive workshops focused on the latest trends and advancements in sustainability.
Wallet Max aims to align not only their climate and environmental literacy pledge with Earth Day, but also incorporate the United Nations global goals to honor businesses and innovators with significant impact in addressing environmental, social, and governance challenges. The Wallet Max ESG Awards 2023 is an annual program dedicated to recognizing and celebrating individuals and startups that have demonstrated outstanding commitment and progress in sustainability. At this year’s ESG Awards, businesses and startups can be recognized in the three different award categories:
A panel of unbiased judges from Wallet Max partners will evaluate the nominees based on their environmental, social, and governance efforts, selecting the deserving winners. In recognition of their exceptional contributions, the winners will receive cash prizes and free startup resources that can be utilized towards their business expenses and expansion, further accelerating their sustainable initiatives.
