Testing Radical Collaboration between Corporations and Impact Organizations

SustainXchange engineers joint ventures that embed nonprofits into corporate value chains, delivering on ESG while protecting mission integrity and ownership and generating multi-year earned revenue. Foundations/DAFs or impact investors are the innovation catalyst, providing seed capital to de-risk long-term business investment with a 1:4 leverage return. This session presents the concept in action through our pilot between Cyient, a tech company facing Scope 3 and resilience challenges, and PASS India, a trusted NGO in education, health, and women’s empowerment. Pilot #2 with Li & Fung is in the works. Second half will be an open discussion to gather actionable feedback and brainstorm opportunities for application in attendees’ own work.
