Conscious Capitalism

EcoPlanet Bamboo’s model is built around the concept of "conscious capitalism", a for profit business model that requires a unique blending of "head and heart”. Our model utilizes the development of FSC certified bamboo plantations as a commercial solution for the reduction of deforestation. These operations provide a secure alternative fiber for timber manufacturing industries globally and create large numbers of desperately needed jobs in areas suffering from abject poverty, all while reversing the effects of global climate change through the restoration of large areas of degraded forest land. EcoPlanet Bamboo's model of conscious capitalism represents a truly sustainable, triple bottom line investment.

The Power of Job Creation
Poverty and the unsustainable use of land often go hand in hand for forest dependent communities across the developing world, leading to severe forest degradation and eventually forest clearance. In such areas, the development of stable livelihoods is arguably one of the most important aspects in the transition of a population from one depending on small scale shifting agriculture, to a cash economy that can co-exist within areas set aside for conservation purposes.
