What is an Ecopreneur?
An “ecopreneur” is an entrepreneur (or intrapreneur/leader) focused on creating and selling environmentally-friendly products and services. Ecopreneurship is a new way of doing business – a way to create sustainable business models, working with and for the environment. We believe that ecopreneurs should take a circular and systems view of business, and will not need a traditional business case to do the right thing. We also strongly maintain that ecopreneurs should consider intersectionality, and to recognize inequality in the fact that environmental destruction largely impacts marginalized communities.
