"We Put Local People First To Make A Real Difference - Practically, Responsibly and Sustainably"

At Parallax, we aim to achieve sustainable development through environmentally sound energy solutions. We assess the real needs of remote rural communities and manage the implementation of practical activity to meet these needs.

Our approach is founded upon our belief that commercially viable activities, no matter where located, will be sustainable. With this motivation, we bring modern business skills to address the basic energy requirements of people living in isolated areas, particularly in developing countries.

The principle of triple bottom line provides a focus for our business interventions, with particular emphasis on environmental and social values. In our work, we bring together all the relevant stakeholders to achieve results that have mutual benefits, locally and globally.

“Parallax” involves seeing things differently. It is the term used to describe how different individuals will interpret the same situation in different ways because of their different perspectives. This is often the case when involving politicians, financiers, product developers, service providers and local customers in the provision of basic energy supplies to remote communities.
