Green Wisdom
- Pre-Seed
We power sustainability intelligence through digital information and communication. We unleash social impact by promoting a greater global civil society led by women who make informed and sustainable choices. We increase awareness of SDG#12 and lead a consumer-driven shift to sustainable consumption and production, initiatives, policies and CSR strategies.
GreenWisdom is the pioneer in sustainability intelligence to accelerate the shift towards sustainable consumption and production through digital technologies. Focused on women, consumers will have online and social media tools to make sustainable choices and drive corporate accountability and private sector transparency to new levels. We improve the availability, accessibility and quality of consumer information and ensure that everyone, particularly women, has access to reliable and understandable information on the sustainability of goods and services.
GreenWisdom addresses the Women and Technology Challenge by powering women with sustainable lifestyles, education, and practices in daily life through our App and Online Platform. This will help minimize the negative impact of environmental change for the most vulnerable, including women and girls, contribute to the creation of new income opportunities for women, and of more sustainable livelihoods for all.
When GreenWisdom is scaled, it will effect change across the world in: (a) the short-run, by increasing Global Goals awareness, specially SDG#12 Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG#5 Gender Equality and accelerating mainstream innovative sustainability knowledge, and (b) the long-run, by creative collective impact by an aggregate consumer demand led shift towards sustainable production and consumption, acceleration of private sector CSR impact, economic growth, new sustainable goods markets, more decent jobs, and partnership success across the world.
On the consumer hand, people everywhere don’t have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature. On the production hand, companies lack encouragement to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate them in their strategies and operations. If we don’t transform both situations, the United Nations Global Goals to 2030 won’t be achieved. GreenWisdom will be the pioneer in solving both situations and opening a world of a mainstreamed shift to sustainable opportunities for consumers and producers.

GreenWisdom is the pioneer in sustainable intelligence with a mainstream global scope. There is no other solution similar in the market.
Ongoing research shows that social impact is a trend driven largely by millennial consumers and enabled by social media tools that have taken accountability and transparency to new heights. Our solution is entirely consumer-driven and targets the main channels of information which young women with access to technology use in daily life.
The solution will go-live through mainstream social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and have an online web page platform and blog. It will be accessible to any young woman with access to basic technology. It will be free for the community we aim to target.
