Vision

Democratic Planet Capital was established in 2010 in the belief that globalisation and technological developments had created the opportunity to truly move profitable investment into a strong sustainability frame to address challenges presented by the multi-dimensional socio-economic crisis of finance, environment and development. A mitigation program of qualitative growth over quantitative growth - an ecological or steady state economy - will allow a short-term fix until permanent solutions can be found for the current crisis.

The organisation's in-house projects aim to create social change by focusing on the systemic barriers that hinder advancement of the democratic sustainable development agenda. A premise of the organisation is that it is now highly feasible that the economy can be made to provide a much higher global standard of living at the same time as safeguarding the natural environment. At an intrinsic level DPC recognises that this is dependent on democratisation of the existing international system to promote "a level playing field." One of the strongest motivations behind the organisation is the need to address the hierarchical structures of power, how elite decision-making institutions are not democratic structures both due to their methods of succession as far as leadership is concerned and the lack of input into decision making from civil-society. Power and consequential cruelty have been identified as the strongest brakes on transitioning to an environmentally and socially healthy planet. A sub-text of the organisation is the question of violence and environmental conflict: at its core violence is environmental.

DPC has been developed in "democratic" (as opposed to authoritative) and cooperative (as opposed to individual) fashion with a non-hierarchical, leaderless structure. Each of the organisation's Partners, Management Board and International Advisory board have specific expertise relating to investment and sustainable development.
