BioLite is a certified B Corp social enterprise founded in 2012 that designs clean energy products for outdoor recreation and off-grid communities worldwide. Co-founded by Jonathan Cedar and Alec Drummond, the company is best known for its smokeless camp stoves, portable solar panels, and rechargeable lighting systems, products that serve campers and outdoor enthusiasts in developed markets while generating revenue to support energy access programs in emerging economies.
BioLite operates a distinctive dual-market model: premium outdoor energy products sold in North America and Europe help cross-subsidize clean cookstoves, solar home systems, and energy access initiatives across Africa and Asia. Household air pollution from open-fire cooking causes millions of premature deaths annually; BioLite's impact programs address this crisis by bringing affordable, clean cooking and off-grid power to energy-poor communities that conventional utilities and distribution networks fail to reach.
