U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mission is to protect human health and the environment. EPA works to ensure that: - Americans have clean air, land and water; - National efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information; - Federal laws protecting human health and the environment are administered and enforced fairly, effectively and as Congress intended; - Environmental stewardship is integral to U.S. policies concerning natural resources, human health, economic growth, energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and international trade, and these factors are similarly considered in establishing environmental policy; - All parts of society--communities, individuals, businesses, and state, local and tribal governments--have access to accurate information sufficient to effectively participate in managing human health and environmental risks; - Contaminated lands and toxic sites are cleaned up by potentially responsible parties and revitalized; and - Chemicals in the marketplace are reviewed for safety. The agency was founded in 1970 and is headquartered in Washington, District of Columbia with ten additional regional headquarters offices (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle) as well as more than a dozen laboratories, and other regional and programmatic offices.

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.

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.
