HOW WE GOT STARTED
EQUATOR was founded as an independent enterprise by the same individuals that created Chatham Energy Partners, LLC; one of the largest energy derivatives companies in the USA. Two of Chatham’s principals and an environmental entrepreneur joined forces with Latin American forestry and banking specialists to create new value in emerging environmental markets.
EQUATOR is headquartered in New York City, with offices in Seatle, São Paulo (Brazil), and Minas Gerais (Brazil).
DOING OUR PART: SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS
As a commercial enterprise, EQUATOR is dedicated to sustaining natural systems and improving the quality of life of communities in our project areas. Equator builds long-term business relationships with communities and utilizes public-private partnerships, collaborations with non-profits, 3rd-party sustainability certification systems and other strategies to achieve these goals.
