Neutopia Launches Industry-changing Social Benefit Solar Division; Set to Transform Global Solar Market
Toronto, Ontario – June 15, 2012

Neutopia ecoSOLUTIONS Inc., (www.neutopia.ca) a cleantech project development company based in Toronto, Canada, has opened a renewable energy sales division that may impact the entire renewable energy market; 80-100% of their revenue is re-invested right back into each community where their projects are located, setting a new standard in Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and what it means to be a true Community Project.

Not a Co-op and Not a Non-profit

The Ultimate “Pay-it-forward” Company, Neutopia is the first company of its kind and their Social Benefit business model has the potential to create spin-off companies in virtually every market conceivable from general consumer products to global food distribution, even telecommunications. It already caught the attention of the Monieson Center at Queen’s University School of Business where Neutopia was invited to present a seminar on the revolutionary business concept for the prestigious business school’s series on "Social Leadership in Research and Business", which focuses on how social leadership can play a significant role in community development.

The founders are hailing it as the ‘evolution of capitalism’ and it has already attracted international interest as they have signed multiple MOU’s and Joint Ventures pursuing more than $250 million in projects in several countries...in their first year.  

The Neutopia Difference

The industry-changing aspect of Neutopia is how their business model benefits communities by streamlining the whole project development process which has been based on an outdated system known as EPC for the past 100 years. Neutopia’s unique business development protocol simplifies project development for communities while offering both manufacturing companies and investors an easy path to realizing revenues. Neutopia’s role on the other hand, as the world’s first Social Benefit project development company, is to re-invest 80-100% of their share of the revenue from project development, which comprises a piece of the traditional EPC revenue pie, right back into each and every community that joins their unique Green Partnership Program™.

The company explains that people need to understand that there are always two pricing strategies for any type of product on the market; a price for general clients and a price for distribution companies who sell to consumers. Distribution companies are awarded greater discounts because they are bringing additional clients to a product manufacturer. Neutopia’s innovative business model has created an entirely new category that lowers the cost even more because they are essentially a new sales division for each product manufacturer and they are out in the real world scouting for projects not simply waiting behind a desk for clients to come to them. This not only benefits the manufacturing companies, it benefits their shareholders and it benefits the communities that Neutopia is helping with countless complimentary sales opportunities to help the entire town ‘go green’.  

A customer/community/co-op can purchase a system from a regular EPC firm or distributor/installation company however Neutopia can match that price (or provide a lower price) while still generating revenue. The difference is what happens to that revenue from project development: Neutopia’s mandate is that 80-100% of their net revenue will be re-invested into community aid projects. The community-focused business model is made possible because as a development company Neutopia is already planning their own energy projects that will generate a sustainable income to support the business, and this enables them to offer equipment discounts and opportunities to others so they can fast-track a global change to embracing renewable energy and landfill diversion technologies.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Neutopia was originally founded to develop Community ecoPARKS to help community’s fast-track the adoption of renewable energy technologies and develop landfill waste diversion programs, with the revenues devoted to supporting a stronger community. However the company was continuously approached by landowners and prospective clients seeking to make their equipment purchases from Neutopia since they would see their dollars being re-invested in community projects rather than leave their towns as when a regular EPC firm is finished developing a project.

Neutopia doesn’t just give cash hand-outs, they invest in making communities stronger via their innovative Green Community Swarm Project Development Protocol™; following in the footsteps of Kaizen, Six Sigma and LEEDS which have transformed the industrial and manufacturing sectors, although Neutopia’s SWARM methodology is set to create entire LEAN Communities that will in-turn have long-lasting benefits for attaining energy independence, education, food, medicine, senior care, shelter…the ideas are virtually endless as each community has different needs.

What’s most interesting is the creation of the Neutopia Green Community Partnership Programs™, including a Neutopia Ambassador program which is essentially a project scouting division that has developed an easy to follow template with technology and country-specific algorithms enabling a new branch of Neutopia to be developed in virtually any country within a few weeks. Neutopia has already reached out to the appropriate government offices to help in their expansion including Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT), Export Development Canada (EDC), Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) while one Neutopia Ambassador just completed a tour with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in the Dominican Republic, a program funded by the United Nations Development Fund.

With $250 million in eco-projects being pursued in their first year and the website now launched to recruit project scouts around the world via social media such as Facebook and Twitter, there’s no telling how big they can become. If this truly is the evolution of capitalism then Neutopia’s energy initiatives may be just the beginning.
