THE IBM SUSTAINABILITY ACCELERATOR 2025

The IBM Sustainability Accelerator is designed to support communities vulnerable to environmental challenges with a new topic and cohort of organizations each year. This new cohort will aim to create sustainable consumption and production solutions, supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 9 or 12 to accelerate sustainable economic development, boost supply chain efficiency and expand AI deployment and capacity.

Benefits

The IBM Sustainability Accelerator is a social impact program addressing environmental threats around the world. 

Each year, the Accelerator selects five organizations requesting pro bono IBM support for projects addressing environmental and economic stress. Together, selected organizations and IBM design, develop, and deploy technology configured to accelerate, scale, and otherwise optimize specific interventions directly benefiting communities.
