The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is crucial in promoting sustainable living through science and education. By emphasising the interaction between humans, animals, ecosystems, and the responsible use of natural resources, we support sustainable social development and enhance living conditions on our planet. Our main campuses are in Alnarp, Umeå, and Uppsala, but we also conduct activities at research stations, experimental parks, and educational sites throughout the country.
Kiva (www.kiva.org) expands financial access to help underserved communities thrive. An international non-profit, we serve the financially excluded, especially underbanked women, refugees and communities impacted by forced displacement, climate-vulnerable people and systemically marginalized communities in the United States.
By connecting people through crowdfunded loans, Kiva puts the power of financial inclusion in all our hands.
Since 2005, the Kiva community has raised over $2 billion in loans, reaching over 5 million people in 84 countries.
Kiva’s team is made up of 100+ employees and 450+ volunteers across the world, with offices in San Francisco, Nairobi, Bangkok, and Bogotá.
The Soil Association Charity was formed in 1946 to pioneer a better world – one where we can all farm, eat and live healthily in balance with the environment. Today, we’re still dedicated to making positive change happen through our charity. We’re farming, growing, buying, cooking and eating. We’re campaigning, lobbying and certifying. We’re running research programmes that pave the way for change. And we’re inspiring millions of people to take their own step towards a sustainable future.
Through our trading subsidiary, Soil Association Certification, we work with over 6,000 businesses – including farmers, growers, foresters, caterers, food processors and manufacturers. The way these businesses operate achieves real change in the world – they farm without chemicals, make and serve healthier food, and educate their customers.
