Our Commitment

We all have watched the price of gasoline and diesel fuel surge to unprecedented heights and have often felt helpless.  Our friends overseas have had to pay higher prices for their gas or diesel fuel for much longer.  Perhaps that is why in 2004, Germany alone, consumed 126 million gallons of Biodiesel fuel compared to only 30 million gallons being consumed in the US.  All over the world we are seeing a rising demand for energy.  In China, for example, some experts predict an annual increase in automobiles on the road of 100%.          

Often we are asked, what can one person do?  While there is no single answer, we must all look within, to see what seems right for each of us.  Despite the disinformation being circulated through the media, Global Warming is real and potentially far more dangerous than any terrorist threat.  Big Oil would like to see things continue as they are. In the past, we may have thought that we just had to just watch helplessly, while prices continued to raise.  But, a lot has changed in recent years and much is yet to come.  Whatever the future brings, this company must be guided by visions and principles.  

This is our commitment:
Profit does not have to come at the expense of conscience and good values. Honesty is not the best policy, it is the only policy. Excellence is not so much a goal as a way of doing business. We all have a set of unique talents, and it is up to us to harness those talents to make the world a better place for all.  In pursuing our solutions to the problems of rising energy consumption and Global Warming, we are committed to the following objectives:

Honesty.  We will be open and honest with everyone in everything we do.

Excellence.  From the development of our seedlings, to the choosing of the farmland to plant on, to the selection of the equipment used to produce our biodiesel, we will pursue excellence in everything that we do.

Conservation. We will strive to protect and improve all lands where we plant Jatropha for Biofuel, as well as the surrounding community.  We will add value by practicing good husbandry and will always conduct business with the entire ecological system in mind.

Education. We will work to help everyone understand how they can make a real contribution to protect against Global Warming and establish a true basis of sustainable and renewable resources for the production of biodiesel.  We will share our expertise with farmers to help them understand how they can contribute to a better environment and simultaneously provide a higher standard of living for themselves and their communities.  

Community. In addition to focusing on profit for our Jatropha tree owners, we will always strive to be a benefit to all with whom we come into contact, especially our workers, and to help all of our neighboring communities, their schools and their churches.

Continuity. We are committed to having our business continue beyond our existence. Our corporation is designed to share ou r knowledge, beliefs, values, authority and responsibility with our employees with the objective that they may continue on without us.

Nothing can be accomplished without teamwork.  Our team includes countless individuals; many more than the great people in our labs and farms.  It involves people like you, tired of the way things are, eager for the way things could be, committed to real change for the betterment of all.
