About E Co.

In pursuit of a ‘World Sustainably Transformed’.

At E Co., we’re driven by a powerful ambition: a world sustainably transformed. This vision guides our work as we partner with clients to build a sustainable future for generations to come.

We’re an international climate finance and sustainable development consultancy. For over 25 years, we’ve been supporting and guiding our clients to achieve low-carbon climate-resilient development.

We believe in the power of collaboration, bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise to drive systemic transformation. We work with agility, tailoring our approach together with stakeholders, to meet the unique needs of each client in responding to the challenges, faced by those on the front lines of climate change, and at the intersection of finance and sustainable development.

Our unwavering commitment to excellence, empathy, connection, diversity, drive, and impact underpins all of our efforts. We hold ourselves and our clients accountable to these values, fostering partnerships built on mutual trust, respect and a shared purpose.

This translates to impactful action. Our seven services provide tailored support from strategy formulation and policy development to programme and project design, evaluation and learning. We empower clients to access climate finance, build capacity, and achieve lasting change.

Our ambition remains firmly focused on building and sustaining the foundations for a healthy and thriving future for all.

We measure our success by the positive and transformative changes we make in the world. We’re driven by a deep commitment to sustainable development, and our impact resonates across the globe.

We’ve worked on over 540 assignments in over 180 countries, and have mobilised over USD 5.9 billion from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) alone – with a 100% project approval rate.

We support and guide our clients to achieve ambitious climate goals, transforming their aspirations into tangible outcomes. Our specific knowledge and experience helps unlock climate finance, enabling impactful initiatives that reduce carbon emissions, build resilience, and promote sustainable growth.

We foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, connecting stakeholders and building capacity for long-term success. Our expertise helps shape effective policies, design impactful programmes, and drive meaningful progress towards a sustainable future.

We strongly believe in a world where both people and planet thrive. Our impact is a testament to this belief, as we contribute to a healthier planet, stronger economies, and more resilient communities.

We believe in a collaborative and agile approach to achieve effective results. We understand that the complexities of climate change and sustainable development require adaptability, innovation, and a deep understanding of local contexts.

Our work begins with listening. We engage with clients and stakeholders from the outset, engaging with active empathy, and ensuring client needs and country priorities are at the heart of our approach. This collaborative spirit continues throughout our involvement, with regular feedback loops and open communication channels that allow us to respond effectively to evolving requirements.

The E Co. way has always relied upon deeper thinking – thinking more deeply about solutions and putting ourselves in the shoes of involved stakeholders and ultimate beneficiaries. This means developing country-driven solutions that confidently meet the needs of local communities, align with the capabilities of implementing agencies, and deliver lasting benefits.

We bring a wealth of experience and expertise to every project, drawing on our in-country knowledge and utilising a range of analytical tools and techniques to understand market conditions, stakeholder perspectives, and potential solutions.
Our focus remains firmly on maximising success. 

At E Co., we build strong partnerships, foster innovation, and drive meaningful progress towards a sustainable future. We encourage our clients to think critically and challenge assumptions, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Our fundamental commitment to climate justice, gender equality, and social inclusion ensures that our work is both equitable and transformative.

Our values are the foundations of our consultancy and preserve our cherished team culture. These long-held principles guide each aspect of our work and interactions.

We’re driven by a commitment to excellence, always striving to exceed expectations and deliver outstanding results for our clients and our partners. We believe strongly in the power of empathy, fostering a culture of understanding, respect, and collaboration. We value connection, building strong relationships with our colleagues, clients, and the communities we serve.

We embrace diversity in all its forms, recognising that a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds strengthens our team and fuels inclusive innovation. We approach every challenge with drive and determination, fueled by our passion for creating positive change. And ultimately, we measure our success by our impact on the world, striving to make a lasting difference for a more sustainable future.

These values are woven into the fabric of our organisation and we are proud of their importance at E Co. They inform our decision-making, shape our client interactions, and guide our pursuit of a thriving planet.
