We are excited to share with you Back to Fundamentals: a series highlighting some of the best companies from our portfolios and how they are working to address systemic sustainability goals through their vision and innovation.
💛 First up! Let’s get to know Geev — a key player in revolutionizing the circular economy! (pssst: while reading this edito, let’s put on some music 😉)
💡Did you know? Every year, 2 billion tons of waste are generated worldwide! That’s a lot just tossed away. But thankfully, Geev’s donation app is changing the consumption game.
👊 By making it easy to donate items between individuals, Geev is leading the charge in the circular economy. Whether it’s furniture, clothes, or even food, Geev helps extend the life of products that would otherwise end up in landfills.
📱Geev is more than just an app. As the first of its kind, Geev makes donating as simple as a click. By fostering a community-driven approach, Geev encourages users to reduce their environmental footprint while also spreading joy through sharing. This unique blend of sustainability and social impact makes Geev a key player in the circular economy, driving change through reuse. They are turning waste into a second chance for people and the planet.
♻️ Since their launch in 2017, the app has saved 258,000+ tons of CO2 emissions — the equivalent of canceling 500,000 flights from Paris to New York! In 2023 alone, Geev moved over 8,000 tons of goods, preventing 800 garbage trucks’ worth of waste. With a growing community of users, Geev continues to scale its impact, proving that reuse is a powerful solution for sustainability. They also opened their first physical store last September, which has already avoided 300,000 kg of CO2 emissions and 23,000+ objects have found a second life.
🌍 Let’s follow Geev’s vision by stop throwing things and start giving. Let’s change our consumption habits for a better future for people and the planet. Download the Geev app here!
