WE ARE A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE HARNESSING THE POWER OF BUSINESS TO DELIVER POSITIVE IMPACT

We use business as a tool to positively impact all stakeholders – including our planet, clients, staff and the wider community.

We imagine a future where buildings are lit with very little power, sunlight, and recyclable, repairable smart lights that defy planned obsolescence.

WE ALSO DONATE 50% OF PROFITS TO CHARITY.
