KOKO announces support of Terra Carta from Sustainable Markets Initiative

KOKO is proud to announce its support of the #TerraCarta from HRH The Prince of Wales' Sustainable Markets Initiative.

The Terra Carta provides a roadmap to 2030 for businesses to move towards an ambitious and sustainable future; one that will harness the power of Nature combined with the transformative power, innovation and resources of the private sector.

The global business proposition outlines ten areas for action and comprises of nearly 100 actions for business as the basis of a recovery plan that puts Nature, People and Planet at the heart of global value creation.

Greg Murray, Co-Founder and CEO of KOKO Networks, explained: “Every year, the charcoal industry in Africa drives 5 million acres of deforestation, 1 billion tons of carbon emissions, and hundreds of thousands of deaths from indoor air pollution.  The only way to reverse this destruction is to unleash and combine the power of technology, capital and consumer demand.  This is what KOKO is delivering, and is why we are proud to champion the Terra Carta.”
