Reef Relief Sunscreen protects people's skin while also nourishing coral reefs. The company was inspired by the dangers of chemical sunscreen ingredients to coral health, as Oxybenzone, a chemical found in 80% of sunscreens, has been proven to have a lethal effect on sea-life and can kill coral and coral larvae in even very small doses. Reef Relief's sunscreen was developed in collaboration with cosmetic chemists and marine experts to create a unique formula, containing nutrients used by coral farmers to help coral thrive. It has undergone university testing and boasts increased coral growth with their formula, and has developed the Reef Protection Factor (RPF) as a new certification for the sunscreen market.

Regrow Ag's Agriculture Resilience Platform is a software program that helps stakeholders across the agricultural supply chain measure and improve their environmental impact and identify areas where adopting regenerative practices would be most beneficial. They use a combination of agronomic insights, satellite imagery, and scientifically validated crop and soil models to monitor and verify the implementation of these practices, enable auditability and transparency in value chains. Regrow serves more than 100 organizations who have collectively invested more than $19M to help farmers adopt regenerative practices. These actions will abate more than 600k tonnes of CO2e, equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 713k acres of U.S. forests in one year. The platform also aggregates agricultural systems data worldwide to garner new insights about resilient farming and expand practice adoption, and to support stakeholders like governments and academic institutions to inform agricultural policy, advance academic research, and implement innovative farm projects that expand the adoption of resilient practices.
