Eneref Institute

Eneref Institute is a research and advocacy organization focused on environmental and social responsibility opportunities as a catalyst for change. The mission of Eneref Institute is to launch initiatives that raise awareness for clear, specific solutions that put forward an efficient use of natural resources, demonstrate social responsibility and foster a peaceful, earth-friendly economy. Our initiatives are designed to encourage responsible behavior of public and private organizations, municipalities and corporations. We believe responsible actions made within an organization should be ecologically sensible and socially responsible while at the same time economically viable. The natural environment can not be increasingly subjected to the process of materials being drawn from the earth, or the continual degradation of natural systems, without returning what was lost. Nor should people be subjected to conditions that systematically undermines their capacity to meet their own needs.
