About Us
Our Story
“Everyone knew it was impossible, until someone who didn’t know came along and did it.”
Somewhere in Europe, two childhood friends and their respective spouses decided to start a venture to try to tackle Climate Change and its Environmental and Social consequences.
An idea that came about during a trip in Mongolia became few lines written on the back of a napkin, which in turn became a white paper, then a business plan, then a company.
The Green Projects are just the first pages of our journey.
We hope that you will join us in writing the next pages of our story.

A Message from the Board
In an age of instant communication where Knowledge & Information are accessible with a click, you could be tempted to think that we live in a golden age.
However, recent events have shown that it is far from being the case. If anything, it has become clear that we live in a highly polarised world, with growing inequality and divide in society and amongst people.
However, there is a glimmer of hope.
People no longer accept the status quo. People have started to speak out for themselves, for the minorities, for those who don’t have a voice, for those whose voices have been ignored for too long.
People have started to realise that each and every one of us has the power to change and to make a change, however big or small.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Now more than ever is the time to help those in need, to give back to society and to nature.
Together, we are stronger. Together, we can put our house, our planet in order. Together, we can make things right again.
Please join us in lending a helping hand.
