CURRENT CHALLENGES

The 100+ Accelerator has worked with its corporate partners to identify the
thorniest sustainability challenges in their supply chains. Do you have a
potential solution? Check out the list below to see if you qualify. If you prove
the viability of your solution through the pilot phase of the 100+ program, you
may end up with one (or more!) new corporate clients.


CIRCULAR ECONOMY

How do we create a fully circular global economy where waste is eliminated,
resources continually circulated and nature regenerated? Help us innovate
exciting ways to close the loop .

The future will depend on a circular economy in order to create long-term,
sustainable value for everyone. We are constantly on the lookout for new ways to
reuse our packaging,  improve our packaging systems by increasing recycled
content, new systems of recycling infrastructure, eliminating weight and other
components. We believe there is potential for creating completely, or
near-completely, circular packaging across our entire supply chain.    

We are also looking beyond our packaging to create a fully circular economy. The
current food supply and how we eat globally is not sustainable. There is a lot
of research and development underway to explore alternative protein and food
supply options. At 100+, we also believe we have a way to contribute to
supplying nutritious, inexpensive and accessible food to the growing global
population. Each year, our companies produce millions of tons of co-product,
which can be repurposed into other types of consumer products for a more
circular global food supply. We also believe our co-products can be used beyond
food as ingredients in cosmetics or pharmaceuticals, as well as packaging.

WATER STEWARDSHIP

Help us create and implement sustainable and energy-efficient practices to build
a more water secure world.

The UN describes water scarcity as one of the “main problems to be faced by many
societies and the world in the 21st century.” Advancing global water pressure
and insecurity is the result of climate change, population growth and increasing
levels of industrial growth and farming. In addition, water insecurity is
aggravated by unsustainable water management practices, waste and pollution.
There is an opportunity for companies to play a big part and to help create and
implement solutions that use as little water as possible across their operations
and help improve water quality for businesses and communities. A couple of
examples include partnering with others to protect high risk watersheds,
implementing technologies to improve operational water efficiency, promoting
water security across their supply chains, and investing in technologies that
can provide lasting access to clean water for communities at risk.

SMART AGRICULTURE

Help farmers produce high yielding, high quality crops – sustainably – by
leveraging science, technology and financing. 

As some of the world’s leading companies, 100+ Partners purchase millions of
tons of crops each year. We seek collaborative partnerships with the farmers who
produce the ingredients that distinguish our Partner’s brands. 

By 2050, global agriculture production will need to increase by 60 percent to
meet the demands of more than 9 billion people. We know that transforming
agriculture at scale – and the resilience of diverse farmers – depends on
leveraging science, technology, and financing. We aspire to empower farmers to
produce high yielding, high quality crops – sustainably – for generations to
come.

CLIMATE ACTION

It’s time to improve production, manufacturing, operations and every day
logistics. Work with us to advance the future of affordable and renewable energy
forms.

The companies that create the products and goods that we use every day can be
more proactive in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. Throughout our supply
chains, from farming of raw ingredients, to production and manufacturing, to the
transportation of our final products globally, the 100+ Partners are working to
reduce our carbon footprint to net zero and leading the way on the production
and use of renewable energy.

The future is dependent on finding affordable, renewable forms of energy that
can fundamentally change how companies power their production, manufacturing,
logistics and more.

INCLUSIVE GROWTH

Equity is essential to creating a truly sustainable world. Too often, minority
and disadvantaged communities are disproportionately impacted by the climate
crisis, and at the same time, they are excluded from the positions of power and
influence to affect change. Our sustainable future will be forged at the
intersection of equity, environment and economy. 

We are looking for innovative solutions for societal equity, workplace
inclusion, economic prosperity and long-term environmental health.

BIODIVERSITY

Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth, from genes to ecosystems, and how
all the pieces fit together to sustain life e.g. producing oxygen, water, food
and among numerous other benefits. Our businesses rely on thriving ecosystems
and a healthy planet: it is the foundation of our supply chains. But, there are
growing challenges. Biodiversity is declining faster than at any time in human
history. In the past 50 years, there has been an average decline of 70% in the
populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. And the situation
is growing more perilous with almost one million plant and animal species on the
verge of extinction. Help us protect, renew and grow the biodiversity of all
ecosystems.

CORONA PLASTIC FREE CHALLENGE

The Corona Plastic-Free Challenge is an opportunity for passionate entrepreneurs
from across the globe to help us find new ideas or technologies that can become
new standards for reducing or eliminating plastic from the consumer goods
industry. No one company or person can solve this kind of challenge alone, so
we’re looking for partners who are inspired by our vision and want to work
together toward a more sustainable future. Reinforcing its commitment to finding
sustainable technologies to protect nature, Corona will offer 100,000 USD per
startup to build and scale innovative solutions for plastics reduction through
the 100+ Accelerator

THE 100+ PARTNERSHIP

AB InBev, The Coca-Cola Company, Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever joined in a
unique partnership to fund and pilot sustainable innovation in supply chains.
The 100+ Accelerator offers size and scale to passionate entrepreneurs to help
them solve pressing global challenges and bring their solutions to market
faster. The 100+ Accelerator provides an opportunity to come together to
accelerate the world's progress toward sustainable solutions and to do business
the right way, not the easy way.

This partnership is an opportunity to come together to accelerate progress for a
more sustainable world, even as each company continues to strive for their
independent sustainability goals.
