  1. Funding Policy

    We fund projects on a multi-year basis to maximise their potential for sustainability and success. In this way, we truly accompany our partners and can measure success and impact on a regular basis, including visits to the field. We like to support projects which encourage communities to take responsibility for their own future and help them reach their full potential. Fair and Sustainable Employment: We promote the creation of quality jobs and income generating opportunities for the most marginalised groups, with the ultimate aim of helping them live worthy, autonomous lives. We consider ‘fair and sustainable’ those job opportunities that are in line with international ethical principles of employment and provide adequate remuneration sufficient for workers to afford a respectable standard of living. Clean and Safe Supply Chains: We support projects that mitigate the social and environmental issues related to the sourcing of commodities, transportation and waste disposal. By “clean and safe” we understand those activities that eliminate health and safety risks along the supply chains, improving the resilience and living conditions of workers and communities impacted.

Funding History

Mujeres A.V.E. - “Mujeres A.V.E.” will cut across sectors and services, drawing together the essential resources that women entrepreneurs need to realise their full potential, but often struggle to access. The services will include in-depth guidance and support, business management, tailored training, coaching, counselling, networking opportunities and childcare services. Engagement with male relatives and gender equality awareness sessions will also help to tackle the more personal barriers that may be affecting women’s business performance.
mart Freight Leaders - Our programme supports the creation of “Smart Freight Leaders” to promote a more efficient and low-emission global freight sector. Smart Freight Centre (SFC), a mission-driven organisation dedicated to a more efficient and low-emissions global freight sector, is addressing the issue though an initiative that engages the private sector in the front line. Global multinational corporations are the main drivers of freight transport demand, and therefore their commitment is key to improve the sustainability of the transport sector.
