Minakian Eco Services
Business drives the economy and, therefore, is a leading cause in the use and allocation of our natural resources.
Given their direct and indirect impact on the environment, it makes ecological and economic sense for sustainability be fundamental to the sourcing, production, and distribution of any business model. In short, business has an important role to play in advancing the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Minakian pledges to make environmental stewardship a key aspect to its conduct of business.
Minakian Eco Services seeks to provide financing to businesses seeking to disrupt the carbon economy and capitalize on the long-term economic opportunities and environmental benefits of progressing toward a low-carbon world.
Minakian Eco Services is hiring personnel, providing capital, expertise and other resources to help address climate change and promote long-term, innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
Selfishly, trends clearly indicate that people value sustainability when making decisions related to purchasing and services.
What Makes a Company Sustainable?
To be sustainable, a company’s operations must be able to “to be maintained at a certain rate or level.”
Minakian and its affiliates will operate with sustainability rather than profit as the bottom line of its business model.
Sustainability Requirements
Minakian will look to invest in and operate businesses that have the following characteristics:
-
Transparent sourcing of materials
-
Environmentally conscious manufacturing
-
Limited waste packaging
-
Low carbon shipping
-
Recyclable end-of-life products
Minakian will look for and encourage proof of “eco-friendly” claims, such as certifications, audits, or other forms of accountability.
Minakian will seek not simply to minimize negative impacts on the environment but will seek to generate a net positive impact on the environment. In effect, rather than simply not litter, Minakian will actively seek to pick up the litter others leave behind.
Minakian believes that this approach will be successful form a business perspective as well. Many consumers value eco-friendly products and companies and are willing to pay a premium for products that seek to incorporate environmentally sustainable practices. These consumers are a driving force in socially conscious shopping, and their spending power will only increase as time goes on.
