Climate & Community
Solon has been creating and scaling high-impact businesses operating at the intersection of people and planet since 2010.
WHAT WE DO
We create, partner and invest to deliver financial returns and transformative impact.
Building on a 13-year track record, Solon employs a differentiated model based on business creation, partnership and patience to maximize impact scale and financial returns while mitigating risk. We pursue our twin missions of Climate & Community through a portfolio of innovative businesses now operating across three impact verticals and nine countries in Africa and beyond.
— Nature Based Solutions
— Education & Sport
— Sustainable Communities
Solon is addressing some of our most pressing social and environmental challenges, including youth unemployment and economic migrancy, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and environmental destruction and biodiversity loss.
Our most urgent global environmental and demographic crises will only be overcome if Africa is a central part of the solution.
Current events remind us that the existential risks we face as a planet and species do not respect borders. With an abundance of potential natural carbon sinks, rich biodiversity and a young and economically dynamic population, Solon is working to contribute towards Africa’s increasingly central role in our shared global future.
