RE-THINK SUSTAINABILITY
The ECOSHIFT backstory is a journey between friends and family, moments of thought and reflection, hands in the earth, mosquitos in the air, unforgettable encounters, long reads of white books, studying ecological and social impact, diving into blockchain technology and many more experiences that contributed to the project.
ECOSHIFT is a grassroots initiative that reimagines sustainability projects as part of a larger ecosystem.
It is a multi-faceted project supporting the ecological needs of our planet that fuses low-tech solutions and deep-tech applications enabling everyone to achieve sustainable production, fair trade and take part of RealFi.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Each chapter will tackle a global challenge to foster an environmentally friendly transition to reach self-sufficiency in a designated area.
We think global and act local.
Our ethical charter is a statement on our policy:
our aim is to keep it clear, simple, straightforward and crafted with intent.
We believe in and support an environmentally responsible, equitable transition to sustainable production—specifically, fairness: to the environment, our members and our partners.
ECOSHIFT is transparent. Using a blockchain means everyone can see and verify our actions. We promote consensus-based decisions founded on the principle of a voice and a vote for every member.
Our international makeup supports and promotes equal opportunity, diversity, and equality. We pride ourselves on tolerance. Moreover, we oppose discrimination of all forms: origin, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, language, social situation, religion or belief, and disability. We are against child labour and unfair treatment of workers.
We believe that big change comes with baby steps that positively impact people and the communities they live in.
Connecting these blocks to a chain develops momentum, initiatives increase and sustainability spreads.
As a sustainable organization, ECOSHIFT aims to reduce the environmental footprint of its actions continually. We encourage our members to practice pesticide free agriculture, recycle, use biodegradable supplies, locally-sourced products wherever possible and support fair-trade products.
We are socially conscious, promoting human rights, humanitarian principles, environmental protection, sustainable development, and the rule of law.
ECOSHIFT supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the IBSO Worldwide Charter for Fair International Commerce.
