Sustainability at SmartOne

SmartOne has expertise over the industries that move the world’s economy

At SmartOne, we care deeply about Madagascar’s development

We also believe that businesses can have a major impact on the local community and economy. This is especially true in Madagascar, where almost 80% of the population lives under the poverty line and only one in three children completes their primary education.

We place environmental and social issues at the heart of how we do business.

Our aim is to create a positive social impact by:

Pathways for the Disadvantaged

Creating pathways to employment for disadvantaged young people

Improve Living Conditions

Helping to raise the standard of living in our community

Global Career Opportunties

Providing our staff with international job opportunities

Improving Technology in Madagascar

Bringing best practice and new technologies to Madagascar

AI for good

Supporting at-risk children and young people in Madagascar

SmartOne supports Akany Avoko Ambohidratrimo, an orphanage and shelter for at-risk children and young people, many of whom have experienced abuse or neglect. The shelter’s mission is to help those children become self-sufficient adults.

Recovering and transforming our waste

SmartOne also partners with Akany Avoko to recover and upcycle 100% of the waste from our activities. Akany Avoko uses this waste to manufacture coal balls, Madagascar’s primary source of energy, without having to cut down any trees. It sells the coal to fund its shelter, helping it to become self-sufficient and minimising the environmental impact of coal production.
