The 2025 Amazon Sustainability Accelerator has selected four new companies from the UK to participate in their 10-week programme to help increase sales and business skills.
The first to feature on the programme is Bantu Chocolate, an environmentally conscious chocolate company that focuses on proportionately compensating cacao farmers for employing sustainable farming methods such as regenerative agriculture.
Next is Composty, which produces durable household cleaning products that are free of plastic and decompose naturally after their lifespan.
The third participant of the programme Grace and Green, a B Corp certified company focused on producing a range of organic and reusable toxin-free period products.
The last to make the list is KWERKY, a low-carbon, natural powdered milk product made of oats and peas which reduce their carbon emissions through vastly decreased packaging compared to other milk alternatives.
Amazon director of seller services Priyanka Wadhawan said: “Since its launch, the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator has already helped over 50 start-ups build and scale products with reduced impact on the environment.”
“I’m thrilled to welcome these innovative companies to our 2025 cohort.”
These businesses will join four other start-ups from Italy, France, Greece and Ireland for the 2025 programme including two cosmetic brands and two sustainable pet food companies.
Grace and Green founder Frances Lucraft, said: “This opportunity allows us to accelerate our impact, learn from leaders in the space, and take bigger, bolder steps towards a more sustainable future.”
“We cannot thank the Amazon team enough for this opportunity.”
The 2025 cohort will each receive benefits including £10,000 cash, $10,000 AWS Activate Credits and a free year of Amazon Business.
