About The Meaningful Business 100 (MB100) .
Now entering its seventh year, The Meaningful Business 100 recognises business leaders, globally, who are driving companies and initiatives aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Comprising social entrepreneurs, CEOs, corporate sustainability leaders and impact investors, the MB100 cuts across sectors, geographies, role types and SDGs, to champion outstanding individuals solving the biggest issues we face today.
Delivering much more than congratulatory recognition, the year-round MB100 programme, supported by EY, Hogan Lovells, Green Frontier Capital and innovision, is designed to help increase the winners’ positive impact and scale, by providing access to a range of pro-bono services, investment opportunities, potential customers, capacity building resources and a global community of peers.
Nominations are now open for the seventh edition and the deadline for submissions is Monday 30th June 2025.

MB100 Testimonials .
This is one of the most proactive and effective networks I have come across; there is a culture of collaboration and action that makes things happen fast. Add to that the chance to spend time with and mentor specific members building future-reader businesses; this is time and effort well spent.
The mentorship programme has been incredibly helpful so far already. Thank you so much for organising this program for us entrepreneurs!
I met my tribe – people to help me improve business for impact. Where else can you connect with like minded folks to support the SDG goals across the universe, investing only 30 minutes of your time? I met one person from Switzerland, one from the UK, one from South Africa and another member from Germany in one day!
