Our Mission

Hi! We are Fructify Network: four women ready to help businesses become more sustainable. Our mission is to make information on running a sustainable business understandable and accessible for every professional, entrepreneur, start-up and business out there.

Fructify Network was founded in 2021 by impact-driven entrepreneurs who believe that businesses have the capacity to accelerate the necessary change towards a better economy and a healthier environment, with a people-first attitude.
During the last year and half we were organizing trainings and programs and we co-created with other experts impactful events for our diverse community:

- Women Back To Work - Skill Set for Sustainability Careers Program (2022)
- 5 Züri walk & talks mapping the Zurich sustainability ecosystem on foot with Natallia Zaremba and The Fabric of Clouds Network (2021-2022)
- The Social Impact Virtual Forum on Inclusion with Narratives of Purpose Podcast (2021)
- 15+ community events (2021-2022)

Do you want to make a change, but don’t know where to start? Or how to make a proper impact? Are you overwhelmed by the information out there?

We are creating a platform with relevant information on running a more sustainable business. It will be bite-sized, clear and actionable and fits the busy life of an entrepreneur and business leader. In our online community you will find other people dealing with the same situation to share experiences and best-practices.
