We are Environmental Defense Fund, a leading environmental nonprofit focused on stabilizing the climate while helping build strong and healthy communities. Our game-changing solutions put people at the center of everything we do. Communities, governments, NGOs and businesses invite us to the table because our people find innovative solutions to the climate crisis. We work where we can make the biggest impact: fighting climate change, saving rainforests, supporting community-led clean air efforts and more. We bring team members together from a wide range of backgrounds. We are defined by our collective optimism, perseverance and ingenuity — and we are united in our mission.

Established in 1970, NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council) works to safeguard the earth, its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends. Our team of more than 800 lawyers, policy experts, scientists, economists, and communications specialists work across the United States and around the world, from offices in Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, and Santa Monica, as well as a representative office in Beijing and affiliate offices in New Delhi (through NRDC’s wholly owned for-profit subsidiary, NRDC India Private Limited) and London (through its UK-based partner NRDC International).

We're here to radically transform 10 industries in 10 years. WWF is one of the largest environmental conservation organisations in the world. Since 1961, the network has invested $11b+ into 13,000+ conservation projects across over 100 countries. WWF already works with some of the world’s biggest companies to encourage them to become stewards of the natural world that their activities depend on. WWF-X is the logical next step. It is time for WWF to step up and lend a hand. How we do it: We work with pre-existing private sector coalitions, representing up to 80% of the market in any one vertical and support organisations to tackle difficult sustainability challenges. The model focuses on the key pain points in the current system: ◦ Mitigating the risk of the sourcing, selection and testing of new solutions ◦ Fast tracking economies of scale for prohibitively expensive new comers ◦ Evidencing the crucial commercial traction to release early stage capital for rapid commercialisation.
