What Others Say

The impact assessment was really important for us as it allowed us to benchmark and understand what kind of impact we are having. It’s given us credibility with investors. We used the impact assessment to establish our model to forecast our impact of CO₂ reduction now and into the future. Toma Paro Co-Founder and COO Boldr, Estonia

We have been using this validation report now to refine our business model, because most of the corporates are looking for solutions that are climate related. We have now reached out to three banks in Tanzania and three insurance companies. We explain that we are solving drought challenges, we are solving flooding challenges, unreliable rainfall, rising temperature and now they see the potential of climate-based solutions for small scale farmers. Musa Mishamo Founder and CEO Rada 360 Limited, Tanzania

The circularity assessment was incredibly valuable for Eco Create & Innovate-ECANDI. As a small business in Kenya’s circular economy space, having this kind of validation is so important because it helps us build credibility, attract and strengthen partnerships, and ultimately prove that our model truly drives impact. Amos Nijraini Founder & CEO ECANDI, Kenya
