How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

We empower these underrepresented groups by fostering inclusion and active participation from vulnerable communities in our processes. Specifically, by working on the Caribbean coasts, we involve local communities, many of whom are in vulnerable situations, in the collection and processing of sargassum, generating employment and providing economic stability. This not only enhances economic resilience but also promotes local leadership in the fight against climate change.
Within the organization, we promote diversity and inclusion by ensuring that women and individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds hold key positions in areas such as research and development, project management, and strategy. This reflects our commitment to equity and the empowerment of underrepresented groups.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to develop innovative biotechnological products, using sargassum as a raw material creating advanced, biodegradable, and sustainable materials. We also aim to promote a circular economy, reduce plastic pollution, and strengthen regional economies by driving biotechnological innovation in Latin America, ultimately positively impacting the planet and its communities.
