MISSION STATEMENT
To support sustainable use and management of resources that guarantees long-term benefits while creating value and enhancing the quality of life for all generations
Ensuring Sustainable Resource Use and Management
Nature Today is a multidisciplinary organization committed to delivering cross-disciplinary services and solutions that help our clients achieve their goals. We are a diverse organization, including individuals with expertise in science, research, engineering, construction, and information technology. Our strength is in collectively providing integrated services — delivering the best solutions to meet our clients’ needs. Our services are wide-ranging, but our goal is clear – promoting economic growth and ensure sustainable resource use and management.
Nature Today was founded in 2006 and has since reinvented itself twice, both in proposition and structure. It started as an association of graduates to provide solutions to environmental and natural resource management challenges in Ghana. From 2011 to 2016, the programming of Nature Today shifted from the early concept into a civil society organisation with the ambition to achieve measurable results and impacts. Nature Today has moved into a business model providing a more dynamic and effective brand for technical and management services. This entrepreneurial approach looks beyond the civil society organisational approach to embrace the virtues of the private sector, and build an organisation that delivers social and economic development on a competitive, cost-effective, best-value basis—a social enterprise that is self-sustaining because it is profitable.
