They are also sold in Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and the United States to consumers who pay a premium that is offset by the social credit that their contribution gains in reducing cost for those purchasers in the recipient developing countries.[4] It was founded[5] in 2012 by the artist Olafur Eliasson,[6] known for his installations which exploit visual perception of light and light effects, and the engineer Frederik Ottesen. In April 2014, the company received a USD $5 million investment from Bloomberg Philanthropies.[7] References1. ^"By engaging with social values, firms establish value- based relationships with customers who—while not benefitting directly from the firm’s social actions—choose to support those values (Barnett 2007, Jones 1995). These investments in turn create positive demand externalities (Ye et al. 2012) that can ultimately translate into premium prices and loyalty to a firm’s products and services, which also constitute symbols of social identity (Fosfuri et al. 2015). Indeed, for customers in industrialized countries, purchasing Little Sun’s lamps associates them with an iconic, visible identity of environmental responsibility and equal opportunity development. In this case, the two logics reinforce one another." Andrea Fosfuri, Marco S.
