COMPANY PROFILE
Helio offers renewable energy solutions for mainstream consumers, with a mission to accelerate the consumer decentralized renewable energy scenario.

Helio is an early stage venture located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We are creating consumer products and services for people to generate some of their own clean energy and monitor their energy generation digitally. We focus on user experience – capitalizing on design and proven technology.

Our founders have extensive experience in the consumer electronics industry and more recently, based on their ambition to lead the entire industry into a more sustainable future, wanted to lead a fast, inspirational and innovative company delivering best-in-class sustainability-driven products and services.

Helio’s first product is a plug-and-play solar charger for portable devices linked to a web-enabled social community. It enables consumers to easily produce some of their own clean energy and contribute to a better environment.

MISSION: Accelerate the decentralized renewable energy scenario
VISION: Enable people to easily produce their own clean energy
VALUES: Enabling, caring, involve, ignite change. Values captured in one word: Optimism


SUSTAINABILITY
Industries in general are recognizing sustainability as a business opportunity – yielding both bottom-line and top-line returns. Compared with established businesses that have to deal with compliance first, Helio, as a new business, has a competitive advantage and can be a front-runner by developing novel ways of delivering and capturing value from the start. Helio starts with meeting the expectations of our market segment through sustainable propositions based on the validated customer insights.

Helio integrates sustainability into the supply-chain. A regional supply system, including distribution, assembly and packaging, is utilized to reduce environmental impact of transportation, increase responsiveness, and gain ‘sourced here’ associations.

Product design and architecture that enables easy disassembly and recovery of components
Full materials declaration – all products
Take-back policy for batteries
