Designed by: Kayla McMillan and Neena Shah
| Key Partners | Envirofit partners with last mile entrepreneurs, local businesses, and international distributors to scale access to clean cooking technology in both urban and rural markets. They are able to reach a wider variety of people by working closely with and often financing organizations, small businesses, small holder farmers, and women’s groups. Partners are really key to Envirofit as their sustainability comes from their relationships with distributors, dealers, and community or government based organizations. |
| Key Activities | Providing a sustainable, non-damaging method of cooking that inspires better and healthier living. One of the key aspects of these products is their ability to reduce fuel use, toxic emissions, and smoke. |
| Key Resources | Include:
|
| Cost Structure | Although the prices of the Envirofit products are not really stated online, their cost structure is kind of cool in that one can either buy the product or become a dealer and distribute the Envirofit products. Costs include the manufacturing, the facilities, advertising, research, distribution, etc. |
| Value Propositions | Envirofit was created with the goal of providing high-quality cookstoves that catered to the needs of individuals living in underdeveloped and third world countries. Envirofit products give people a way to cook their food without using exorbitant amounts of electricity and reducing the amount of smoke and toxic emissions.
The value in their product is cooking with charcoal gas is $1.00/day but cooking with LPG (liquified petroleum gas) costs $0.56/day. |
| Customer Relationship | Helps customers cook smarter, save energy, save money, and reduce their carbon footprint. It improves the daily lives of the customers because they don’t have to clean up the messes. |
| Channels | Envirofit allows people to become dealers of the product which expands the distribution of the products. But also it allows government or community-based organizations to become a partner with Envirofit. |
| Customer Segments | The most important customer are women who are cooking for their families in developing countries. Their products target families who lack access to electricity and clean cooking solutions and desire and will buy high quality products that improve their lives. |
| Revenue Streams | A testimony by a customer states that these devices save her and her family about $6.5. What makes this company so interesting and affordable for these people in developing countries is it gives people in countries such as the United States the ability to buy something known as “Envirofit Carbon Credits” which allows the money to go towards a family in need of a stove. $30 supports one stove. |
