The need for global ecosystem protection and restoration is evident now. EU cities are dedicating major efforts to the shift towards more sustainable solutions. Besides improvements in infrastructure and technologies, the adoption of more sustainable behaviours by citizens represents a great challenge.

greenApes is a digital platform that promotes sustainable living by combining social networking, gamification and real life rewarding elements - among citizens who are engaged in some environmentally friendly practices but also reaching out to segments of population who are not yet involved. Citizens, after creating a privacy friendly profile, can share green ideas and inspire each-other, automatically certify (via third party apps and services) their daily actions and earn BankoNuts to claim eco-friendly rewards, offered by local green businesses. In a survey we conducted within the community, 72% of users declared that they adopted new sustainable behaviours while using the app.

The solution is free for users through Web and iOS and Android native apps, entirely developed by greenApes experienced developers.

greenApes partner cities enjoy a special experience: custom actions and points, plenty of rewards in town, real life meet-ups and workshops.

But most of all greenApes is a flexible tool that can be tailored and connected to local green initiatives. greenApes is in fact always available for integrations with third apps and services that are helping citizens in leading a more sustainable lifestyle.

The platform also impacts the connection between demand for sustainable products/services and local offering: 65% of greenApes users declared they discovered new green businesses in town while using greenApes.

The engagement of stakeholders is always a central element for a successful launch of the project in town. greenApes is a powerful and flexible tool in the hands of local stakeholders, and our staff is always available to support the design of engagement and communication initiatives.
