The Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge is a game-changing solution that emerged from the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) Action Track 1. The Pledge recognizes that governments cannot eradicate hunger alone and need more private sector involvement. It calls on companies from all sizes and from around the world to join the global movement to end hunger.

The Pledge invites all companies to invest, innovate and work with donors and development agencies to change the way food is produced, distributed, and consumed. It is an opportunity for companies and investment funds to align their investments with new evidence and commitments by donors, governments, and global institutions towards SDG 2.

The implementing organizations are a coalition of international organizations, namely: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), Grow Africa, Grow Asia, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate, the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA), the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and the World Food Programme (WFP).
