As you know, Bene Bono is now offering the opportunity to invest in their journey against food waste through Tudigo.

More patient, more aligned, and more diverse investing." Now you too have the chance to invest alongside established investors like Kima Ventures, Stride.VC, Project A and AVP!

“If you want to survive, sustainability needs to be baked into a brand that actually excites people.” I agree, and we could also put it another way: If WE want to survive, the brands that excite people need to bake in sustainability! Sustainability can’t just be a hygiene factor – it needs to be woven into the DNA of how we design, build, and scale better companies. The most successful brands of the future will be those that align purpose with desirability, proving that what’s good for the planet can also be good for business. We Are Human and 2050 are developing #Alignment methodologies and tools to help companies do that.

These ocean stats are too critical not to revisit. In 2025 - the International Year of the Ocean - these figures demand our attention more than ever: 👉 71% of our planet's surface. 👉 9.2 gigatons of CO2 absorbed annually. 👉 70% decline in marine predator populations. 👉 $2.5 trillion in economic value. Numbers that tell a story of both immense value and urgent responsibility. #YearOfTheOcean2025 #BlueEconomy #FertileFuture

🌊 "The ocean is the largest carbon sink on Earth—30 times more powerful than all forests combined" This striking fact emerged from our journey at 2050, where we began with a simple mission: making climate science accessible through a transdisciplinary course taught at Paris-Dauphine University since autumn 2020. What started as an educational initiative has evolved into a comprehensive investment strategy built on four pillars: 🎯 Raising awareness 📊 Data-driven decision making 🌱 Nature-based solutions ♻️ Climate-positive innovation Through this systemic approach, we discovered a compelling opportunity: the blue economy. With an annual value of $2.5 trillion and supporting 3 billion people worldwide, we're diving deep into this vital ecosystem. 🔍 Discover how we're turning climate understanding into strategic action: https://lnkd.in/eKsKZSPD #BlueEconomy #ClimateCourse #Investment #FertileFuture

Last week, I attended an event organized by our investment fund 2050. Ocean preservation was in the spotlight, as Ocean is at the heart of biodiversity and essential to our planet's regenerative capacity. Marie Ekeland highlighted a crucial point: "We should reduce CO2. But actually this is not what we first should do. The first thing to do is to help the environment to regenerate itself." The fashion industry and its overproduction represent a true environmental disaster. In places like Ghana, beaches are directly suffering from toxic plastic emissions, affecting both local inhabitants and ocean ecosystems. At TILLI - Join The Cycle ®, we are empowering the fashion industry to transform this destructive cycle. Our mission is to provide tools and services that enable brands to:  - Extend product lifecycle - Reduce waste - Minimize environmental impact - Support circular economy principles By focusing on repair, reuse, and sustainable practices, we're not just mitigating damage - we're actively helping to regenerate and protect our planet's delicate ecosystems. Marianne CARPENTIER, Pascal Lamy #BlueEconomy #BEFF Global Ocean Commission Valérie Le Brenne, Claire Nouvian BLOOM Association In this context, I wanted to share these two impactful screenshots from The Or Foundation's website - an organization we closely collaborate with through Fédération de la Mode Circulaire. Their messaging perfectly illustrates these challenges we're facing.
