Introducing our new partners

“We’re thrilled to partner with such incredible nonprofits that are making tangible differences in their communities across the globe. We look forward to introducing new and meaningful ways our employees can get involved while expanding our reach across emerging markets to help create more prosperous communities.”

In 2023, we began a search for new nonprofit organizations aligned to our two strategic focus areas: empowering small businesses and supporting ecosystem restoration. Through our new partnerships, we will continue to invest in every relationship and drive impact where it matters most, helping create a more inclusive and prosperous future for our communities.

Expanding our reach

We have also expanded our joint programs with WEConnect International and Village Capital, nonprofits that help underestimated entrepreneurs grow their small businesses and uplift their local communities.

Together with WEConnect, we will be continuing our joint program “Financing Your Growing Business” and rolling it out to 13 priority emerging markets. As part of this program, they will develop and incorporate sustainability topics into the annual bootcamp’s training modules. We will also continue working with Village Capital on their investment readiness program, “GreenTech 2024: The Future of Sustainability”, which targets entrepreneurs growing innovative sustainability-focused businesses within their communities. With our support, they will continue providing them with 1:1 training and technical support, as well as access to mentors and investors.
