The CatalystE+Co is the catalyst behind the Energy Cures Campaign. As a non-profit organization, E+Co’s underlying purpose is to stimulate long-term, institutionalized channels of investment in environmentally superior forms of energy production and use in developing countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America. As a thirteen-year old investment company, E+Co empowers local small and medium sized enterprises in developing countries through business development services and investment capital. These enterprises supply modern energy to households, businesses and communities; people previously without access to expensive, unhealthy and unreliable energy. Underlying E+Co’s energy enterprise centered model is the fact that such investments yield “Triple Bottom Line” returns across financial, social and environmental metrics. To ensure this result, E+Co provides a unique combination of business development support and finances to capable clean energy entrepreneurs in these developing countries. Since its inception, E+Co has mobilized over $157 million, provided modern energy to over 3.6 million people, supported almost 3,000 jobs and offset 2.2 million tons of CO2. As the leading provider of services and capital to modern energy enterprises in developing countries, E+Co has offices in Bolivia, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Ghana, the Netherlands, South Africa, Thailand and the United States.
