      SustainChain™ is the world’s largest sustainability action platform that helps humanity collectively achieve the SDGs. As a public service platform, we bring together impact investors, innovators, purpose-driven brands, NGOs and alliances with a shared mission of building a more sustainable supply chain. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, we will map global efforts across the sustainability ecosystem, providing actionable insights into hotspots to accelerate efficiency and speed. As an intern concierge, I worked with various initiatives and accelerators to onboard them onto the SustainChain platform and ensure that their projects were disseminated to the broader sustainability community for increased collaboration.
