Girls' education is an incredibly powerful climate solution due to its stong relationship with child marriage prevention and subsequent delayed motherhood; impacting population growth and lowering consumption-based emissions. 130 million girls in the world's poorest and most climate-vulnerable communities are effectively excluded from education due to poverty. Humanitarian organizations in low-income countries constantly struggle to fundraise and are never able to fully meet the needs of the most marginalized. SoGreen is a startup with a big heart and an even bigger ambition: A world where all girls realise their right to education and climate justice is placed at the heart of all climate action. In collaboration with leading scientists at renowned European research institutions in the field of demography and climate science,* SoGreen has developed a methodology to quantify the climate impact of girls' education in tonnes CO2-equivalent avoided. This allows for the generation of carbon credits (1 ton = 1 carbon credit) which can be sold on the international carbon market to channel climate finance to girls' education. In partnership with FAWEZA, a leading pan-African NGO focusing on girls' education, SoGreen's pilot project is being implemented in Zambia. Over the coming 5 years, the project will ensure a full secondary education for 180 marginalized girls. All carbon credits generated by the project have been sold ex ante to over 30 companies that have ambitious sustainability strategies, which allow for the use of carbon credits in addition to reducing their own emissions. SoGreen aims to be the provider of the worlds most popular carbon credits within the next 5 years; resulting in a powerful reduction in emissions and a massive increase in educational attainment - a basic human right. *International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany, and The Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital (WIC) in Austria.

Benefix is ​​aimed at companies that want to focus on employee well-being and want to give employees a relevant skills boost via self-development videos. Benefix is ​​an employee-oriented course platform and at the same time a management dashboard for management use, which is used both to manage employee well-being and at the same time create an overview for management of the organization's mental health status. Benefix originates from Klausen-HR, which mainly works to get employees on sick leave due to stress back to work. The insights from this are, among other things, that prevention of stress is significantly more important than investing in treatment once the damage has occurred. It saves the company a lot of money to spot and stop stress in time and at the same time it spares the employees the psychological and physical hard journey that a sick leave with stress entails. We believe that stress can be avoided with the right knowledge and the right tools for mental and physical well-being - for both managers and employees. In fact, it is not something that requires a lot from the workplace or is difficult to implement in a busy everyday life. That is why we have created Benefix, an e-learning portal that quickly pays off, where everyone can learn to take responsibility for their own well-being and avoid being affected by stress at their own pace.

Anteroz is the story of friends who found a flavour and a secret known by few but worth sharing with the whole world: Mamajuana, a botanical rum-based drink aged on a 500-year-old Dominican tradition hailed as a source of vitality, the cure to whatever tortures and an aphrodisiac. The stories behind Mamajuana and the joy and passion with which the Dominicans serve and enjoy this exotic drink personify the way they take life itself: as if it is not lived to its fullest unless you do what turns you on. To share this message with the world, we set out to create a global brand and spread this message in a bottle. As a company, we believe in bringing something unique to the world in a sustainable way, never forgetting our roots: just the way we learned in the land of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. It is also fundamental to Anteroz to never forget our products’ roots. Crafted in the Dominican Republic, Anteroz is named after Anteros, the Greek God of love and son of Aphrodite, following the legendary Mamajuana property of manifesting amorous desires. We are determined to honour the Mamajuana tradition with an evolutionary drinking experience and are on a mission to live up to the reputation and be a real turn-on for both those who sip and those who pour our unique blend of fiery herbs and luscious honey-infused spirits.
