Our mission: ensuring the future of wild deer, wildlife habitat and hunting.
Ducks Unlimited conserves, restores, and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people.
Hunters for the Hungry is a 501 (c) (3) charity operating in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Their mission is to provide donated venison to people in need, having provided over 7.9 million pounds, over 31.7 million quarter-pound servings of lean meat since our program began in 1991.
The purposes of the Fur Bearers Society are to protect the environment by preserving urban and rural ecosystems and the wildlife therein to advance education by developing and delivering training, courses, seminars, workshops and conferences that promote the welfare of animals, and conducting, commissioning and disseminating research related to the welfare of animals;
Transforming a God-given resource of deer and livestock into food for those in need!
Regrowth
Innovative Reforestation on Degraded Land. Living Carbon’s mission is to responsibly rebalance the planet’s carbon cycle using the power of plants.
Offers plants are sourced from the best growers across the country, cared for by in-house Plant Experts and shipped straight to your yard. This means you're shopping straight from the source and guaranteed fresh, thriving plants.
Biomass
Charm Industrial transforms waste biomass into bio-oil and injects it underground for permanent storage.
Award-winning technology on a mission to replace plastics with plant-based & eco-friendly alternatives.
Bloom's vision is to enable an efficient utilization of resources and promote the shift towards a green and circular society.
PeelPioneers extracts natural ingredients from the peel which are widely used in food products, cosmetics and cleaning products. This way, we reuse 100% of the peel.
Algae & Seaweed
What if plastic was regenerative rather than destructive? Sway embodies all three pillars of the circular economy: Design out waste, keep materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. This methodology is reflected in our product portfolio and throughout our entire value chain. With a holistic approach, we can replenish social and ecological systems harmed by climate change and plastic pollution.
Smart Microfarms is developing and installing scalable microalgae systems for community, urban and rooftop gardens and for algae entrepreneurs to grow high value algae products that are local, sustainable and profitable.
Algenesis is on a mission to help the planet recover from the pollution caused by products made from fossil fuels
Kelpi is a material innovation company. Starting with seaweed, their bioplastic coating provides a world-leading water barrier, that offers a real alternative to fossil-fuel plastics.
OCEANIUM develops and makes innovative, functional seaweed ingredients to catalyse the seaweed industry for People Health and Ocean Health.
Recycle and Reuse
Textile-to-textile recycling. At scale. REPREVE® is a performance fiber and resin, traceably-made from recycled materials and waste sources.
On a mission to inspire the world to reuse. Every bottle, cup, and bag comes with a QR Code printed on the side. Scan it every time you reuse. Every scan unlocks a donation and tracks your environmental impact.
Reusable shipping and delivery packaging systems for forward-thinking brands and retailers. Reusable packaging requires circular systems. Returnity’s 3P Platform enables reusables to be the right choice - operationally, economically, and environmentally.

Energy
SkyCool’s vision is to improve the efficiency of all cooling systems by harnessing an untapped renewable resource: the sky. SkyCool's innovation is a radiative cooling material that we’ve combined with a panel system to improve the efficiency of any vapor-compression based cooling system, saving customers money and preventing the emissions of CO2 and other harmful greenhouse gases.
Energy production from renewable resources is the key component of the world’s future energy mix. Renewable raw materials have the potential to permanently replace fossil fuels and simultaneously solve the problem of surplus agricultural production in North America and elsewhere.
Natural gas is cheap and abundant, but today, utilizing it for energy generates carbon dioxide. CZero is on a mission to unlock the zero-emission energy embedded in natural gas. C-Zero’s technology is a form of methane pyrolysis that uses innovative thermocatalysis to extract the carbon in natural gas as a dense solid. The company is developing a drop-in decarbonization system which can be placed in between the existing natural gas infrastructure and industrial natural gas consumers seeking to lower their carbon dioxide emissions.
Data & Intelligence
Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions. Their mission is to help the world stop climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. They pursue three key strategies:
Advance Effective, Science-based Climate Solutions and Strategies.
Foster Bold, New Climate Leadership.
Promote New Narratives and New Voices.
Global climate risk data analytics. Climate X helps organizations become more resilient to the impacts of climate change by quantifying, at an asset level, the probability and severity of weather events decades before they happen.
Farming & Agriculture
Leveraging the most advanced science and technology, we deliver proven ag sustainability programs and biological products at scale. Indigo Ag solutions strengthen farmers’ livelihoods and empower companies to meet their goals, today and tomorrow.
The Pasture Project works to advance regenerative grazing and grass-fed value chains in the Upper Midwest as a scalable, market-driven solution for building healthy soil, viable farms, and resilient communities. We work with farmers, land managers, public agencies, and farm member-based organizations to build resources, provide technical assistance, and remove barriers for expanding use of regenerative practices, value-chains and end markets that yield win-win outcomes for farmers, communities, and the environment.
Dedicated to revolutionizing agriculture through innovative products that promote sustainability and efficiency. We strive to build a productive agricultural system that serves the environment while advancing soil and plant health.
