Alexander Bouri: Heading Companies to Better the World


As has been mentioned before, Seament is a company that Alexander Bouri founded that packs and ships cement all around the globe via specialized cement vessels. It revolutionized the cement industry, which was on the decline due to a spike in the amount of demand for these materials and an inability to supply them to countries in need. Not only did Bouri find a solution to the more than 60 countries in crises over cement shortages, but the way he the company was environmentally sound and contributed to the downfall of monopolies and, therefore, the price of cement on and off the black market.

Needless to say, founding and fostering Seament is quite a feat in itself, and a revolutionary one at that, for which Alexander Bouri should be commended. However, his love for giving back, as well as for bettering the environment and economy, is exemplified elsewhere, too.

Bouri is on the Board of Directors for Envipco, a company that dedicates itself to encouraging recycling – and, thus, the reduction of pollution and resource depletion – all around the world. Clients of this company set goals to reduce their carbon footprints, and Evipco helps them make it happen. From helping companies in the food industry recycle their beverage bottles and cans to simply educating others, Envipco is devoted to its cause and is constantly researching and creating programs to make the Earth a greener place every day.
On top of all that, this company hires its employees from halfway houses, homeless shelters, and other havens for less-than-fortunate applicants. Hence, employees of Evipco are given a second chance – the opportunity to be self-employed, secure new homes, and simply start with a clean slate.

From his dedication to companies like these, we can see that Alexander Bouri is truly dedicated to making the world a better place. He takes gigantic strides in giving back to the community by playing a significant role in companies like these.
