RESPONSIBILITY

CaribAlgae is here because we feel that we can act now. Therefore we work on the following Sustainable Development Goals as defined by the United Nations.

We provide high-quality jobs for the citizens of Curacao, contributing to the elimination of poverty through social and economic development on the island.

We give employees access to education through technical training in advanced algae cultivation and processing systems.

We believe in creating high-quality job opportunities for all people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, or sexual orientation.

We create clean water with the power of algae, recovering nutrients from wastewater and reducing pollution of the environment.

We aim to produce affordable jet fuel from our algae, reducing the environmental impact associated with flights to and from Curacao.

We are helping to pioneer the algae industry in Curacao and the Caribbean, opening up a new pathway for economic growth.

We are introducing a cutting-edge advanced biotechnology industry to Curacao, the first of its kind in the Caribbean.

We will help improve the sustainability of our community by recycling waste into valuable products with the power of algae.

We are setting an example by conducting business in accordance with our core principles of environmental stewardship.

We are helping to counteract climate change by building an industry that uses algae to consume carbon dioxide and reduce environmental pollution.

We are cleaning wastewater before it is discharged into the ocean, protecting the important marine ecosystems around Curacao and the rest of the Caribbean.
