“EcoPlanet Bamboo is 100% committed to creating “triple bottom line” returns (financial, social & environmental) through our global bamboo plantations. We believe that “conscious capitalism” is the only sustainable way to change the world by reducing poverty via job creation and a reversal of negative land use change.”
