Funding History

We have always aimed to be funded by a wide diversity of sources. However, funding diversity could not be achieved from the beginning, notably because subsidies from Public Authorities and Foundations are generally reserved to organizations that are at least three years old.

From 2006, we have fully complied with our funding rules. We received financial contributions from:

  • The HARAFI Foundation, a Swiss foundation promoting sustainable fishing practices.
  • The Swiss Government's Agency for Development and Cooperation,
  • IRSIB - IWOIB, the Scientific Research and Innovation Institute of the Brussels-Capital Region.
  • The European Commission's DG-Environment.
  • Several international organizations: UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), WHO (World Health Organization), the Global Mechanism of the UNCCD (United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification), and the World Bank.
  • Contracts for the European Commission's DG-SANCO and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
  • Several Donors.
  • Several Corporate Partners: Carrefour, CEFIC (European Chemical Industry Council, jointly with Euro Chlor and PlasticsEurope), Cumerio, Ferrari Textiles, Floridienne, GSK (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals), Raffinerie Tirlemontoise, Solvay, Suez, Total, and Umicore.
