Our Vision
We believe that Dot Eco can be an open, global platform for anyone to share their actions towards sustainability.
Each of these actions will become part of millions of shared public eco profiles, every one linked to a Dot Eco website and to the eco community. Together, these profiles will inform interested parties and help chart a course to a more sustainable future.
Dot Eco is about enabling transparency and using domain names in new and innovative ways – ways that are consistent with the evolution of the domain market and the drive towards open, structured data.
A Focus on Sustainability
We want to harness the power of ’eco’ to support global sustainability. We will do this by asking people who want to brand their companies, organizations or themselves as ‘eco’, to tell the world what is ‘eco’ about them. We will ask them to share their sustainability goals, commitments and actions as part of the process of obtaining a Dot Eco name.
We will also give a percentage of the revenue from every Dot Eco domain name sold to finance sustainability causes around the world. The proceeds will be managed and distributed by an independent foundation to ensure integrity and fair allocation of what we expect to be a substantial and sustained source of funding.
About Big Room
Big Room is backed by an international group of investors, advisors and supporters who share our vision for Dot Eco.
These individuals and organisations are experts in sustainability, responsible investment, media, and technology. We are honoured to have organizations like WWF International, David Suzuki Foundation, Green Cross International and others working with us on the Dot Eco Stakeholder Council to ensure Dot Eco delivers maximum benefit for the planet.
This Stakeholder Council guides Big Room’s Dot Eco policy process and seeks to follow international best practice in setting environmental and social policy. It will collaborate with the global sustainability community in setting these policies. Founded in November 2007, Big Room’s approach to business is that financial, as well social and environmental bottom lines matter.
The founders have spent their careers working to advance sustainability, development and technology by building partnerships across borders and industries. We are all focused on ensuring the success of this domain.
