Ome is dedicated to improving the lives of families in the Philippines by providing access to improved cook stoves (ICS). Our stoves not only reduce fuel consumption and emissions, but also improve air quality. By financing the distribution of ICS to poor families, we aim to reduce carbon emissions and generate investor returns. Join us in our mission to build a sustainable future for all.
The 2020 Sustainable Development Goal 7 tracking report has identified the Philippines as the country with the least access to clean cooking among countries in Southeast Asia.
The Philippines has committed to a 75% carbon emissions by 2030 with NetZero by 2050.
In our favour numerous international companies have among their largest offshore business process operations there including Telstra, Facebook, Microsoft and Google all which have ambitious Net Zero targets.
We have identified a strong ‘buy Philippines’ demand for carbon by national and international companies in order to support local outcomes beyond simply offsetting. Credits will also be attractive to meet global offset requirements
