We do this by accelerating access to finance, markets and innovation at a systems level:

  • Access to finance: mobilising $10b of additional investment into the adoption of sustainable innovations globally
  • Access to markets: Securing market commitment from top leaders in their industry to procure at scale
  • Access to innovation: transitioning 10% of the global production in the top 10 industries most damaging biodiversity and climate, to sustainability

We are uniquely equipped for these activities with:

  1. A tried and tested model that has already been delivered and scaled in two major multinationals; together with the developers of that model forming the founding team.
  2. An initiative founded and incubated by WWF and who now have a seat on the board and an active advisory role on all future WWF approved programmes.
  3. Advanced market commitment from industry partners to finance, test and commit to procure solutions at scale.
  4. A robust 6 lens de-risking research methodology, together with extensive peer multi-stakeholder peer review, to ensure only the most effective and sustainable solutions reach scale.
  5. A growing finance community, involved throughout the process, to enable fast and efficient investments.

FundamentalPrinciples

Three principles underpin how the Project X programme works:

  1. WE SECURE ADVANCED MARKET COMMITMENT TO PROCURE AT SCALE
  2. WE FOCUS ON THE COMPANIES TO HELP THEM DERISK THE ADOPTION
  3. WE OPERATE AND COMMUNICATE A FULLY TRANSPARENT, SEQUENCE BASED APPROACH
