Act MERAKI.

Meraki is a commercial holding combining its profit orientation with environmental and humanitarian goals. We want to create an example of how business can be done without being exploitative and destructive.

Meraki aims to be part of driving the current system towards two main aspects: A more regenerative and distributive economy, following the Doughnut model.

We obviously believe that:

  • List arrow | MERAKI The economy should not cross any ecological / planetarian boundaries (+biodiversity)
  • List arrow | MERAKI Basic needs of all humans should be guaranteed (water, food, shelter, security, peace, dignity)
  • List arrow | MERAKI The wealth and opportunity spread should be reduced significantly (no billionaires, wealth cap)
  • List arrow | MERAKI In a perfect world, every business would support these goals by just following economic laws. Thats the world we strive for.

So how we do it?

Regeneration

We are building and investing in projects that change destructive, high-pollution industries to be regenerative.


Distribution

Our ownership structure should guarantee that the profits are used to a large degree for a societal good (+employee stock option) and that business is done in accordance to the doughnut model. That‘s why the holdings majority owner with majority voting rights needs to be a foundation (and becomes the decision maker).
