Corporate Partnerships
Building Resilient Communities Together
EcoWB is dedicated to protecting the planet’s ecosystems by empowering environmentally vulnerable communities to problem-solve, innovate, and protect and use their natural resources wisely. We want to work with corporate partners who are as dedicated to environmental stewardship and community well-being as we are.
By joining forces with philanthropically minded corporate partners, we can amplify our efforts and make a lasting, positive impact. EcoWB Corporate Partnerships help us carry out our mission and broaden our reach, while our Corporate Partners can showcase their commitment to operating ethically and responsibly, and the positive impact their actions have on society and the environment.
If your organization shares EcoWB’s core values and is committed to making a real difference, we’d love to hear from you. We are eager to explore collaborative opportunities that leverage our respective strengths and drive measurable impact. Whether through financial support, volunteer engagement, or other meaningful collaborations, corporate partners provide transformative value to EcoWB's mission.

Corporate Partner Spotlight
POWER Engineers
In 2022, EcoWB partnered with POWER Engineers to help residents of Kibera, an informal settlement of more than half a million people living near the Nairobi Reservoir, Kenya. EcoWB’s local partner, Empower the Community (ETCO), has organized a series of reservoir cleanup events in which local community volunteers collect and dispose solid waste that has accumulated in the reservoir and along its upstream tributaries. Several employees of POWER Engineers are working together to launch a corporate Innovation Challenge project to design, manufacture, and install trash racks at one or more key locations on the Ngong River tributaries. The trash racks would intercept large debris and plastic objects that can be removed and recycled or disposed of before they enter the reservoir.
POWER Engineers proposed a smart, sustainable, engineering-based solution to address the problem of proliferating waste in one of the poorer settlements in Nairobi, it is also sending several employees to Nairobi in July, 2024, to collect data and meet the individuals with whom they will be collaborating. An EcoWB ecologist with extensive experience in habitat restoration, pollution abatement, and community outreach will accompany the POWER Engineers’ contingent.
POWER Engineers has not only provided EcoWB and our project partner, ETCO, funding for this endeavour, they are allowing their engineers and environmental specialists to continue to provide pro-bono technical expertise and guidance through the planning and installation phase of the project.
POWER Engineers and their employees have every reason to feel proud of their actions. Their proactive involvement in the Nairobi Reservoir Rehabilitation Project serves as a shining example of corporate responsibility and support for humanitarian and environmental causes.
ERM – Environmental Resources Management
ERM, the world's largest sustainability consultancy firm, joined forces with EcoWB to restore mangrove systems in Marismas Nacionales (National Swamp), the largest mangrove forest system on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Mangrove forests are one of the world’s most productive ecosystems, absorbing up to four times more carbon dioxide than upland terrestrial forests. Coastal development, climate change, pollution and agriculture are contributing to a loss of mangrove forests at around four times the rate of overall global deforestation.
In addition to providing vital project funding, ERM has entered into a multi-year partnership with EcoWB to develop a comprehensive strategy for mangrove conservation. Leveraging their expertise in the field, ERM consultants are providing pro bono assistance including mapping park features, offering guidance on navigating carbon credit markets, and conducting a social assessment to inform the conservation strategy.
ERM's collaboration with EcoWB underscores their dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship. By investing both financial resources and human capital, ERM has demonstrated its commitment to upholding environmental values and effecting meaningful, impactful, and sustainable change.
We are always looking for innovative approaches to forge mutually rewarding partnerships with for-profit entities. If you are interested in supporting our initiatives or discussing how your organization can demonstrate its dedication to environmental sustainability, please email us.
