WHAT DO WE DO?
We work hand-in-hand with Indigenous communities to further their economic empowerment.
Canative Energy assists in not only solving the technical and commercial challenges with growing a business, but we also help develop the internal capabilities of indigenous communities to ensure their businesses are sustainable for the long term.
We are committed to strengthening the human capital of communities. We assist in developing strong and independent leaders who feel empowered to start their own projects and improve those are currently underway.
Canative do not take part of the profits from the businesses of the communities we work with. We rely in our strategic partners and financial supporters.

Our Business Model

to further their economic empowerment
Meet Fredy from the community Limoncocha - a community which is a great example of positive social change!
DEVELOPMENT, SUSTAINABILITY
AND DIGNITY
Canative Energy was built on these three pillars. These values are inherent in everything we do.
We work directly with our Indigenous brothers and sisters develop commercial businesses which are both profitable and provide additional opportunities for the members of the community. And we ensure these businesses are sustainable so as to support a continuous positive change.
The end result is dignity in the work the members of the communities engage in - not only fair pay and equal opportunities for all, but also the sense of pride which comes from success.
We are proud of the work we do.
