The foundation's objective is to contribute to humanitarian projects and development while protecting the environment and biodiversity through the reduction of emissions and encouragement of sustainable agriculture.
The Akuo Foundation was created by the Akuo Energy group, a renewable energy Independent Power producer that operates power stations worldwide producing green electricity out of wind, solar, hydro, biomass and biogas. Sustainable development is at the heart of Akuo Energy’s culture. Since its creation, it has always promoted smart projects beyond power plants, integrated in their environment and adapted to the scale of the territories where they are located. We take great care to design projects that support local initiatives and bring further sustainable benefits to the populations beyond green power.
Akuo Energy is very proud to have created the Akuo Foundation under the aegis of the Fondation de Luxembourg, as it is a vehicle that will enable Akuo Energy to leverage its impact and to embrace new projects on a non profit basis. It will also enable partners to join its initiatives and especially support deprived populations worldwide to:
- Access renewable energy while ensuring continuity of supply at sustainable prices
- Access education and knowledge
- Access water and health services
- Protect the environment and biodiversity including the promotion of new sustainable agriculture practices
The Akuo Foundation values are engraved into the Akuo Energy values and are based around integrity, learning, innovation and making a difference with the ultimate goal to contribute to make a better world. Its projects are well balanced between support for projects from established partners and self generated projects that open new areas and new opportunities to have more impact.
