Ecotrust

Building Sustainable Economies

Building Salmon Nation, a place where wild salmon and people thrive, by focusing on creating resilient, regional markets imbued with social equity and ecological integrity.

Problem:
How can we create and grow economies that provide real social and environmental benefits?

Program:
Since 1991, Ecotrust has created, capitalized, and catalyzed social and environmental innovation on the west coast of North America—establishing models that can be replicated worldwide.

Progress:
The initiatives launched by Ecotrust and partners – establishing the world’s first environmental bank, financing the nation’s first gold-certified green building restoration and nourishing a $20 million trade network in regional foods – are icons of the region’s transition to a more reliable prosperity.
