We showcase outstanding climate solutions and accelerate systemic change that unleashes their transformative potential.
Ashden boosts climate innovation in the UK and Global South. Our support brings clean energy to villages and refugee camps, and fixes up cold and draughty homes.
We make schools more sustainable, and help communities protect and restore the nature around them. We shine a spotlight on innovators, and connect them with new partners. We work with funders and policymakers to influence, inspire and raise ambition.
Ashden supports good green jobs, better health and fairer societies. Our mission is to showcase outstanding climate solutions, and to accelerate systemic change that unleashes their transformative potential.
Our impact includes wider access to affordable clean energy in Africa, and support for UK schools to become zero carbon.
Ashden works in partnership to back entrepreneurs, boost green jobs, and engage citizens in climate action. We give politicians the tools to take action, and investors the confidence to step up. Powerful storytelling is at the heart of what we do.
Our funders and supporters are passionate about lowering carbon emissions and delivering climate justice.
Together we share knowledge, discover new innovation and create impact. Supporting Ashden connects funders to key voices in the climate conversation – from grassroots enterprises to global bodies.
We can only create a fairer, better, low-carbon future if we improve diversity in our organisation and work for change in the wider climate sector. A broader range of views and experiences will help us understand the challenges different communities face, and support solutions that work for all.
To achieve our goals we are working with fellow members of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trust on a common diversity, equity and inclusion policy. In recent years we have taken practical steps such as improving the diversity of our board and awards judging panels, and introducing inclusive recruitment measures. But there is much more to do – so we pledge to continue investing in action, and to monitoring and sharing the results of our efforts.
Climate innovators are poised to create a fairer, greener, zero carbon future. But they won’t succeed without smart policies, supportive finance and market reform.
Ashden’s mission is to showcase outstanding climate solutions, and to accelerate systemic change that unleashes their transformative potential.
