Catalyst Market is a collaborative initiative developed by members of Catalyst 2030 to accelerate the transition to a regenerative and inclusive economy. In the conventional economic story, the purpose of business is to maximize profits and grow. This has created a race to the bottom that is particularly visible in modern consumer goods and ecommerce. Low prices do not reflect the true social and environmental costs: poverty wages, unsafe working conditions, human rights violations, toxic materials, pollution, ecosystem collapse, climate change, and monopolistic concentration of power. Catalyst Market brings together social enterprises that are cocreating a new economic story and choosing to prioritize people and planet over profit maximization. The focus is on addressing shared challenges, finding synergies in ongoing work, integrating existing services, and collaborating to catalyze systemic change. Catalyst Market operates as a member-driven, not-for-profit initiative within the Catalyst 2030 network.

Catalyst Now is a global movement of NGOs, social enterprises, intermediaries, funders, and other social change innovators that is mobilizing resources and catalyzing collaboration to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Global Goals were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Achieving the SDGs in time will require bold transformations and unprecedented innovation. Catalyst Now members are self organizing around three pillars: coordinating action and sharing information across sectors and silos; facilitating strong and genuine alliances for systemic change interventions; and optimizing funding to support these interventions. This includes working with philanthropic institutions, development aid agencies, investors, corporate donors and others to unlock capital and fundamentally rethink and redesign the way systems change approaches are being supported. Catalyst Now is a not-for-profit initiative driven by the voluntary action of its members.
