Developing Ideas
The Acacia Group operates in a manner that is reflective of the latest trends in sustainability and responsible practices. Our fee structure includes an allocation for carbon offsets through Planetair
The renewable energy and energy efficiency projects prevent as much greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere as our business releases. Planetair's projects are managed by myclimate, one of the world's most trusted offset providers, and they offer Gold Standard offsets, which adhere to the most widely accepted quality seal for voluntary offsets currently available.
The Acacia Group experience is grounded on principles of equity and contribution and the community development aspect is based on creating capacity rather than exploitation. Depending on the project, the nature of the work done by local partner and the desire of the customer, The Acacia Group will be developing relationships with Kiva, a micro-lending organization that supports the efforts of local entrepreneurs through small loans. The Kiva model is unique in that they work with a network of micro-lenders around the world - resulting in investments that can make a difference to communities and individuals seeking to break the cycle of poverty.
If you have questions about these concepts or have ideas as to other ways The Acacia Group and it's customers can make a difference, please contact us.
