Envirofit International

Envirofit International is a social enterprise that innovates smart energy products that improve lives on a global scale. Our vision is that everyone has access to affordable energy products that improve their lives, their community, their economy, and the environment. More than half the world’s population still cooks over an open fire, causing more than 4 million deaths annually – more than HIV, TB and malaria combined. Using a market-based approach, Envirofit pioneered the clean cookstove market in 2003, and has impacted more than 5 million livelihoods across 45 countries. With an extensive manufacturing, supply chain, and distribution network in place, Envirofit aims to sell 5 million stove stoves by 2020. Becoming the market leader in the design, development and delivery of clean cookstoves, Envirofit used a market-based model to develop and commercialize high performing biomass cookstoves that are efficient, durable, affordable, and appeal to consumers. In addition to the aesthetic qualities, Envirofit’s stoves are designed to offer economic, health and environmental benefits, reducing smoke and toxic emissions by up to 80 percent and reducing fuel use, fuel cost, and cooking time by up to 60 percent. The stoves reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by up to 60 percent, black carbon by up to 40 percent.
