SOLARIUM SOCIO-ECONOMIC MODELThe bottom line, under the Solarium Model, expands beyond the financial incorporating four additional standards: social, health, environmental and food sovereignty.In other words, Solarium seeks to integrate its three pillars: renewable energy, organic agriculture, and culture into a wheel of five balanced standards. This effort of emphasizing four additional standards— SHEF, in addition to the strictly financial—F, is seen as not only compatible with income stream growth but essential to it.The inquiry into how to maximize all five bottom lines is Solarium's core value. This process of analysis is envisioned, in and of itself, to have both direct and indirect income stream results.In effect, the search for a sustainable socio-economic model is not seen by the Solarium team as a block to business model growth but is the bottom line.
