Impact of the crowdfunding
Impact of the crowdfunding
"At the heart of our crowdfunding success lies the connection with our supporters, who not only invest in our projects but also share with us a vision of mindfulness, fairness, and authenticity in the world." – Julia Löschenbrand-Bläuel
Together with over 800 people, primarily from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, we have implemented numerous ecological projects while largely operating independently from banks.
MANI Experience World
With the opening of the “MANI Olive World,” we have created a unique space where visitors can learn about the art of olive cultivation and oil production. The visitor area has quickly become a popular attraction in the region. Together with the MANI Sonnenlink, we strengthen eco-tourism in Mani and raise awareness about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Water and Energy
Sustainable management means using resources and energy carefully every day. Representing many initiatives, we would like to highlight two projects: Firstly, we supply our hometown of Pyrgos and our production facility with spring water from the Taygetos Mountains, helping to prevent water shortages during the peak summer months. Water extraction is environmentally friendly, powered by solar energy.
Thanks to The Olive Tree Investment, we were also able to significantly expand our photovoltaic system, achieving energy neutrality.
Continuous Investment in Product Quality and Sustainability
Our products are highly popular, and the product range continues to grow. Numerous awards affirm our quality and commitment to sustainability – including the Trigos 2024, Gault&Millau, Oliv Reader’s Favorite, and many more.
Educational Projects and Social Initiatives
We are proud to support the integrative project Lyso’s Herb Garden, where young people with disabilities receive training in organic gardening. On land provided by MANI Bläuel, they cultivate herbs such as sage and oregano, directly supporting the project and creating new perspectives for disadvantaged youth since 2016. MANI provides both the cultivation area and the necessary infrastructure to best support Lyso’s Herb Garden.
Future Planned Projects:
- Initiatives to support local small farmers in transitioning to organic farming.
- Introduction of visitor programs and tours to promote eco-tourism.
- Establishment of partnerships with NGOs for social and environmental projects.
- Development of recycling and zero-waste initiatives within the company.
- Continuous product development, quality improvement, and capacity expansion.
