Founded in 2011, BURN was created with the aspiration to save lives and forests by revolutionizing the clean cookstove sector. While traditional, inefficient cook stoves can bankrupt families, damage their health, and destroy forests, BURN’s best-in-class stoves can save families money on fuel, limit indoor air pollution, and protect forests. BURN is now Africa’s leading clean cooking company and one of the only carbon-offset project developers to cover the full carbon value chain, from project design and in-house monitoring to credit issuance. Headquartered in Kenya and with direct operations in 10 African countries, BURN employs 2,500 people across Africa. The company has made and distributed over 4 million clean cookstoves, transforming the lives of over 22 million people and avoiding 17 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. Committed to upholding our customers' dignity, we strive to offer them unparalleled technology, by developing the world's finest cookstoves. Leveraging carbon finance, we have subsidized our wood stoves by 95%, reducing the price to $3. This initiative has made our life-saving stoves accessible to low-income rural customers, alleviating the adverse effects of smoke from three-stone fires. Our impact is profound, selling over 4 million stoves, saving 17 million tons of wood, cutting carbon emissions by 17 million tons of CO2e, transforming over 22 million lives, and enabling $ 683,074,918 in household savings since 2014.
