A first step towards
a more sustainable business

Making your business more sustainable is hard. What are your options? Are there quick wins? Where do you start?

They say that ideas are good. And that solutions are better, but that implementation is best.

To help you with the challenges of making your company more sustainable, we've set up a five-month program.
This program stars in March 2021 and the formal part kicks off April 11th 2021.

In this second round of Impact Nation, companies have formed their main sustainability challenge. With that we will scout internationally for solutions, match them, and help with integration during 100 days.
‍
We'll cover the progress in our stories on this website.
You can pre-register if you're interested in participating in the second round in April 2021.
