Environmentally friendly company beats the odds

Bebi (pronounced mbambi with English spelling) Electronics was founded in 2004 at Fawn Harbour, Vanua Levu, by Michael Homsany, Kendra Pinsker, and Joe Prasad. It's purpose (besides putting food on our table), is to provide employment to the village of Nakobo and its environs without disturbing the traditional way of life within the village.
In respect to the pristine environment, Bebi Electronics has chosen production methods that do not produce industrial waste. Being 40km from the nearest power line, most of our production electrical is powered by solar panels. In addition, for their exclusive resin, the company utilises (cleaned) used beverage containers for the actual mixing.
Homsany said that Bebi was founded and registered with the FTIB in 2004 with a primary goal to make money. Their secondary goals, (which are dependant on success in the primary), is to create jobs in a rural area using means that are not destructive of either the physical or social ecology of Fiji.
"The company at this time specialises in highly rugged, low energy consumption lighting products, marketed mostly to the recreational boating market, but which is also suitable for off-grid lighting, which is common to Fiji.
As for our employees, this is dependant on our level of orders. At this time, we have a total of six employees working, the norm is seven."
Bebi like other businesses also have some drawbacks that deter the company from developing or meeting their targets.
Our Internet marketing and customer service is significantly better than the norm.
We respond to all product inquiry/order emails within six hours: Not six working hours, six elapsed hours. Most emails are replied to within four hours. And yes, this means never getting a full night's sleep or taking week-ends off!
The company was the proud recipient of the RC Manubhai Group of Companies Unique Exporter Award at the DHL Prime Ministers Exporter of the Year Awards. According to Homsany, the win was 'very much a pleasant surprise' as this was the first time they have entered the awards.
