Circular Economy We support the transformation from linear to circular economy. A circular economy is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. Our solutions are based on the 7 R’s Rethink, Reduce, Re-use, Repair, Refurbish, Recover and Recycle. Zero Waste We are committed to advancing the paradigm of zero waste by engaging in promoting extended producer responsibility and encouraging responsible waste disposal and management practices. By emphasizing closed-loop recycling and circular business models, we strive to create a more sustainable ecosystem that reduces the environmental impact of waste. Carbon Neutrality The basis of our work is to contribute to a carbon neutral economy. We develop and support solutions that target global carbon reductions by innovating carbon-free business alternatives and compensating mechanisms for unavoidable emissions. We lead by example, as a carbon neutral organization. Biodiversity & Afforestation We contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and some of the world’s most endangered rain forests by supporting local communities and indigenous people through sustainable entrepreneurship, capacity building and access to markets. Solutions include ecotourism, permacultures, sustainable forestry and afforestation programs. Sustainable Agriculture We promote sustainable agriculture by empowering small holder farmers and rural communities through entrepreneurship training, capacity building, digital skills and access to markets. We help to grow sustainable practices in largely remote and difficult to reach areas to sustain the livelihoods of local people. Clean Energy We support solutions that provide clean energy both as a replacement for traditional sources of energy such as charcoal or gas and as energy supply for households without prior access to electricity. Grameen Shakti is the world’s largest rural renewable energy company and has experience in decentralized solar panels, improved cooking stoves and community biogas plants. Access to Water & Sanitation We foster solutions that provide access to clean water and sanitation in both rural as well as urban communities. For example, Grameen Veolia Water operates and maintains a water treatment plant that provides safe drinking water in rural Bangladesh, where the groundwater is naturally contaminated by arsenic. How We Do It Harnessing the Power of the Yunus Network In order for a network to truly work, it requires trust and deep-felt human connection around a common purpose. For over 40 years, Prof. Yunus endlessly created meaningful connections around the world, building a strong network, which is the foundation of our organisation. Our network covers over 100 countries and consists of organisations, experts & individuals around the world passionate and committed to solve social and environmental problems. This allows us to design and pilot solutions at global level while implementing at local level with local people. We aim to accelerate the fight against climate change and contribute to the SDGs. Together with Yunus Environment Hub, we were able to expand our global network.” Sebastian Nunes, CEO ClimateSeed The incubator program helped to bring our social business to the next stage. We are glad to be part of such a supporting community.” Julio César Bueno Cruz, Founder Andin Organic We are able to experiment with innovative recycling technologies to solve the waste problem in Bangladesh while creating income opportunities.” Faisal Ahmed, Project Manager Grameen Precious Plastic Previous slide Next slide We Are a Member of Yunus Environment Hub Yunus Environment Hub is the Global Social Business Network Creating Solutions for the Environmental Crisis 2023 © Yunus Environment Hub Privacy Policy Imprint Press Yunus Family Follow Us Facebook-f Linkedin-in Instagram Twitter Youtube Join Us WE ARE HIRING Sign up NEWSLETTER We use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.
