DOMI is Taiwan's first B Corp, running on a 'one less, one more' model: 'channel what you save from energy efficiency into planting trees and children's education.' In 2013, Corey Lien and Tammy Hu, who had worked over a decade under Beijing's polluted air, returned to Taiwan for their young child's health and, seeing exhaust fumes hit their child's face on a Kaohsiung street, resolved 'we must act ourselves' and founded it. DOMI is Latin for 'home.' The model's 'one less' is energy saving and decarbonization with LEDs and solar; the 'one more' is using sales to invite companies and households to tree-planting parties and children's environmental education. In particular, it provides LEDs free to energy-poor households—those with electricity but unable to replace their lighting—and walks alongside them, assessing their lives with the Poverty Stoplight. Bills fall, carbon drops, and a bright home even improves family relationships—a win for all sides. In 2016 it co-founded B Lab Taiwan, promoting B Corp certification for the first time in Asia and advancing Best for Taipei with the city. From B Lab USA it received Best for the World / Movement Builder among over 1,600 B Corps.

DOMI Earth: 'One less, one more'—save energy, and channel it to trees and education. The letter is B; certainty is medium. Unconfirmed concerns are placed under “Watching.” (As of 2026-Q3; estimate based on public information.)
Main narrative
One person’s story (N1)
+ A single story
Even with a built-out grid, low-income Taiwanese households could not replace their lighting and were left in 'energy poverty,' with a dark home casting a shadow over family relationships and quality of life. DOMI finds such households in urban areas, replaces their lighting with LEDs for free, and walks alongside them, assessing their lives with the Poverty Stoplight. Bills fall, carbon drops, and the home becomes bright. The benefit appears as the collective of such energy-poor, low-income households.

A second look
The plus is energy saving/decarbonization and tree-planting (Nature), easing the burden and living environment of energy-poor households (People), and children's environmental education (future generations), backed by being Taiwan's first B Corp, co-founding B Lab Taiwan, and Best for the World. Caveats: the scale is local, in recent years the focus has shifted to corporate ESG training/consulting so the plus may thin into an advisory type, and a case study (Sage) explicitly questions that outcomes—amount of energy saved, trees' long-term survival, education effect—are ambiguous in attribution.

How to read this assessment
- Reachable upper bound (ceiling): a confirmed − sets the ceiling, and independently verified + decide the position within it. + do not cancel out −.
- The weight of evidence is not symmetric: only confirmed − are counted; the volume of disputes or allegations goes under “Watching.” + are counted from independent evidence, while an organization’s own PR is treated as “reference.”
- Size is not value: scale is not used in the assessment. Matters that stay within money or competition—investors, shareholders, sanctions, trade secrets—are also excluded.
- The letter (assessment) and certainty (how reliable the information is) are separate axes.
This is a translation; the Japanese version is authoritative. The assessments here are generated automatically by AI based on published criteria. The operator does not alter individual results. Because they are AI-generated they may contain errors, and they are opinion and commentary, not statements of fact. Where evidence is insufficient, the entry is marked “On hold.” Requests for correction are accepted via the form.
Terms: Narrative Value = an assessment (A–G) of the distance between the story an organization tells and its reality / Ceiling meter = a visualization of the reachable upper bound / Watching = unconfirmed matters not counted / Protected stakeholders = people, animals, nature, and future generations. | Generated by: AI | As of: 2026-Q3 | Back to top
