Discover projects of the Emprendeverde Network that generate environmental, social and economic values with a positive impact.
\n<\/p>\n

Entrepreneurship is one of the tools with the greatest potential for action to change the social and productive model that helps to alleviate the effects of climate change, especially those responsible entrepreneurs, who are capable of generating environmental, social and economic values with a positive impact.<\/p>\n

However, there is still much to be done in this field. According to data published by the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA), Spain is “one of the countries with the least developed impact investments, with an estimated volume of 87 million euros”. <\/p>\n

Even so, green entrepreneurship is a perfect breeding ground for social entrepreneurship. In fact, most of the projects that are part of the Emprendeverde Network have associated social actions that work inextricably. <\/p>\n

One of the best known and with an inspiring trajectory is Auara<\/a>, a social enterprise that dedicates 100% of its profits from the sale of mineral water to develop projects to bring drinking water to the world’s neediest communities. Its bottles are made with 100% recycled and 100% recyclable material. <\/p>\n

Also noteworthy is the work of Organic Cotton Colors<\/a>, a company specialized in the transformation of organic cotton with its own cultivation in Brazil through 200 family farmers, landowners and who cultivate biodynamically. That is, growing food as well as cotton. <\/p>\n

Another case is L’Estoc<\/a>, which produces and sells furniture of its own design, made from recycled materials and disused furniture. In this production chain they have people with intellectual disabilities who, through a creative process, transform these materials into disuse, giving them a second life. <\/p>\n

Along the same lines, Mireia Barba, Marina Pons and Jordi Bruna founded Espigoladors<\/a>, a non-profit organisation whose leitmotif<\/em> is to combat food waste through a project in which people at risk of social exclusion participate. The initiative was born with the idea of generating systemic and transformative, social and environmental changes in relation to the reduction of food waste. ,<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we find examples such as Iguales en Acci\u00f3n<\/a>, made up of a multidisciplinary team of social agents working side by side with homeless people or those who have lived on the street. This association, promoted as a social and green entrepreneurship group, aims to create green employment with which to hire its associates to get out of their situation of severe exclusion, while generating jobs for the social agents who work in the entity. <\/p>\n

Offering a job opportunity to women in rural Asturias was born, Feltai<\/a>, a project that tries to give value to the wool of Xalda sheep from which women from the Asturian rural environment make textile products. One of the most interesting elements is that the products are made with wool and this, at the end of its useful life, can be used for composting. <\/p>\n

These are just some examples of entrepreneurial projects that have been able to see that through a sustainable way of producing they can provide solutions to social problems and, in addition, achieve viability in their businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":36016,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-97858476","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nGreen and social entrepreneurship, a union that works -
