Eco Shepherd started as a research and innovation unit commissioned by NGOs, businesses and government departments to develop prototypes for sustainable business models, funding models, and supply chains (building self-sufficiency for NGSs and reducing the leaning culture on year-to-year grants), to help embed sustainability into mainstream society and popular culture.
Eco Shepherd has evolved into a nimble consultancy and social enterprise which develops scalable, economically viable solutions that enable sustainability in inclusivity for the world’s most vulnerable, fundraising models for NGOs, business supply chains.
The world is full of uncertainty. Monumental challenges—including climate change, poverty, and inequality—are at the forefront of daily life and becoming ever more urgent.
