Sustainable Innovation Accelerator

We are creating the beauty that moves the world with tomorrow’s sustainability innovations.

Building on our long-standing culture of innovation, we will further catalyse new breakthrough technologies, in support of our sustainability transformation, with the launch of an accelerator program, endowed with €100 million investment over 5 years.

This new initiative will help us identify, pilot and scale the solutions needed to address the continued challenges facing our industry – from sustainable ingredients and packaging materials to low-impact manufacturing processes. 

We will actively seek and support startups, SMEs, and established innovative companies with ready-to-pilot solutions in key areas such as: low-carbon solutions, alternative ingredients, eliminating fossil plastic use and plastic waste, low-impact processes, water resilience, nature-based solutions, and inclusive business models.

Scaling these innovations will fuel sustainable solutions and accelerate the delivery of our ambitions.

In partnership with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), our sustainable innovation accelerator is a program that will help scout, identify, pilot and scale  breakthrough technologies addressing our critical challenges and needs.
