Who is our customer
Global Off-Grid Lighting Association (GOGLA) is the independent, not-for-profit industry association for the off-grid energy sector.
What is our funding objective?
GOGLA promotes responsible business in the off-grid solar industry. The funding provided will enable GOGLA to expand the value and influence of their work on financial transparency and consumer protection and supports the development of setting the industry standards on other topics such as e-waste.
Why do we fund this investment?
This project supports the development of more responsible practices in the off-grid energy sector. Off-grid companies offer a strong value proposition to customers and the sector is delivering significant and measurable social, economic and environmental impacts. However, as the industry seeks to build and expand, it is key to ensure that growth objectives remain fully aligned with consumer interests and the environmental impact the off-grid sector has. This is in line with FMO’s objectives to be a leading responsible investor in this sector.
