Ignite

Ignite is a movement purpose-built to drive behavioural change and make a difference to the ever-growing waste crisis, support sustainable living and enhance environmental protection.

The aim of the program is to get the right people in the right room to create solutions to the world’s biggest problems. We do this through collaborative events, with past speakers from WWF, Innocent and Beauty Kitchen as well as research reports and our newly launched podcast series.

We create Ignite as we believe technology can support sustainable living and create a better future. Working with organisations including the American Red Cross, Forest Watcher, the World Resources Institute, and LUSH, we are embarking on a mission to create apps that enable and nudge people, businesses and NGOs to improve their sustainability efforts and make better choices.
