Sustainability will be a key challenge for the 21st century. The civilized world will have to develop and implement a whole new economic, social and environmental agenda to keep and save natural resources in order to increase the quality of life on the planet for this and future generations.
It is in this scenario that Gecko wants to fulfill the existing need of Corporations, Individuals and Organizations (NGO's, Foundations, Institutes, Universities, etc.) for customized sustainable solutions with positive social and environmental outcome.
Gecko exists to create real initiatives with real impacts and not cosmetic solutions to "feed the fad". We are working to establish and fundament concepts like corporate citizenship, social responsibility, eco-efficiency, sustainable urbanism, etc., so they become practices and not just another market jargon or business opportunity.

We position ourselves as a specialized group of professionals combining diversified expertise to provide tactical and practical approaches to create and implement sustainable ideas and to develop communication strategies through responsible marketing.
We welcome companies that are leaders in the implementation of responsible corporate polices and practices, as well as those interested in doing so. Whether your company is just starting out with a community investment program or is fully engaged in triple-bottom line reporting, Gecko has the knowledge, resources and connections to help take your company to the next step.

how?
Our work starts with an appraisal of the situation either to identify a problem or an opportunity. The next step is to establish an execution format once there is an agreement that we can in fact contribute for the case.
This format will vary according to the stage of company/project, but it tends to be the following:

• define the agenda
• set priorities
• develop strategies and policies
• place management systems
• assemble resources
• conduct audits and tailor made research
• review and reporting processes
• abet engagement by creating an on going awareness process.
