👌Food waste's environment example...

Tristram Stuart - Feedback

🤩Tristram Stuart is an international award-winning author, speaker, and campaigner on food waste's environmental and social impacts. His journey into environmental activism, mainly focusing on food waste, began in his teenage years when he raised pigs and fed them on scraps he collected from local supermarkets and bakeries. This firsthand experience with repurposing food that would otherwise be wasted sparked his lifelong commitment to addressing food waste globally.

🤝Motivated by the need for systemic change, Tristram founded Feedback in 2009. The organization aims to tackle the root causes of food waste by exposing the inefficiencies in the food system at each level of the value chain. It employs a variety of approaches, including public awareness campaigns, research, and direct action, to reduce food waste at every level of the food system, from farms and manufacturers to retailers and consumers.

📙Who is David Auerbach - Sanergy?

🤝Auerbach and his team initiated Sanergy with a mission to address the critical sanitation crisis in Nairobi's urban slums, where a majority of the population lack access to hygienic sanitation facilities, causing the spread of disease.

The company was created as a franchise model, selling prefabricated toilets to local entrepreneurs, who can earn by charging users peruse.

🤩This initiative is set against a backdrop where globally, 4 billion people live in conditions where waste contaminates their environment, leading to 2 million child deaths annually and hindering economic growth.

📙Social entrepreneurs stand as a transformative force in the global economy, who innovate and build businesses by blending the pursuit of financial sustainability with the mission to address social, cultural, or environmental issues.

🖍Let's start a cycle of global examples considered as good practices - stories of Impact of social enterprise(by futurize.studio).
Today we undertake with the one known as "the father of social enterprise": Muhammad Yunus - Grameen Bank (https://grameenbank.org.bd/)

👌Muhammad Yunus, the Father of Microfinance, founded the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh to provide small loans to people experiencing poverty.

🤝To help people avoid economic hardship, he wanted to provide affordable loans. Yunus demonstrated how microloans could empower low-income individuals and spark their entrepreneurial spirit, starting with a personal loan of just $27 to 42 women in Jobra village. Today, his organization, Grameen Bank, is revolutionizing banking for 10.52 million borrowers in 81,678 villages, 97% of whom are female members. The Grameen model has gained global recognition, earning Yunus and the bank the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.

🧐Do you know?

The Commission in February 2004 published an Action Plan on Entrepreneurship, which focuses on actions in five policy areas: entrepreneurial mindsets, incentives for entrepreneurs, competitiveness & growth, access to finance and cutting red tape.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/action-plan-for-entrepreneurship.html

✍Small (less than 50 employees) and medium-sized (less than 250) enterprises are considered the backbone of the European economy, providing jobs for millions of European citizens and are the basis for economic innovation. However, conditions for SMEs and start-up companies are not as favourable in the EU as they are in the US and entrepreneurial initiative and risk-taking are less developed.

👌The EU recognised this problem and made entrepreneurship one of the main objectives of the Lisbon agenda in 2000. Responding to this, the Commission launched a series of initiatives aimed at fostering support for small businesses in the EU.
