Entrepreneurs for future generations
Environmentally responsible commercial activities
We need to rethink our current consumption patterns, which are depleting our planet and legitimising unacceptable social practices. Respecting human dignity, combating poverty, encouraging local food and organic farming, combating deforestation…
When it comes to food or our everyday purchases, there are ways to enjoy life in a sustainable way and we are working to promote these alternatives and spread them throughout society.
Consume differently
We believe that consumption is a lever for change. Our social enterprises represent a new model, where economic profitability is not an end in itself but a way to offer alternatives for everyday living.
Whether you’re looking for food, clothing, home decoration or just a drink, discover new ways to adopt an environmentally responsible lifestyle.
