Envirofit innovates and sells clean cookstoves that enable families to live smarter and save money while reducing climate change, and creating new economic opportunities. With a goal of improving harmful traditional cooking methods, Envirofit innovated a product line of aesthetic, high-performance cookstoves tailored to the needs of customers in emerging markets. Envirofit’s stoves reduce smoke and toxic emissions up to 80%, cook 50% faster, and reduce fuel use up to 60%. Using a market-based approach, Envirofit has built a scalable business that delivers stoves that are adaptable, affordable, and accessible to the most remote regions of the world. Envirofit has grown from a business with one product to a global company serving over 5 million people, with over a dozen user-designed products, and regional headquarters in East Africa, West Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
