Don’t expect it from the government

GOVERNANCE

by THE OLBIOS TEAM

Traditional social movements and government interventions have often failed to win businesses to the cause of social responsibility in Argentina. Diego Carvajal builds a network of institutions to help businesses see the value of positive social reform, and helps individual consumers use everyday economic decisions to maximize their political impact. To promote consumption as an act of such an empowered citizenship, he is starting consumer movements that educate people and provide them practical opportunities to buy socially responsible products. He also supports the growth of businesses, helping them improve their income, introducing them to socially responsible practices, and engaging them in their communities social development. In addition, he creates micro-level sustainable enterprises in low income communities. Interrupcion’s business model seeks to improve the life quality of its producers in Latin America. They provide organic farmers with a new, direct, and branded sales channel into the U.S. market. The company delivers fair prices to producers, transparent trade conditions and product traceability, and recognized third party certification. The Fair Trade organization guarantees fair pay and safe work for the people harvesting the foods. They develop and supply quality, fairly traded fresh fruits and vegetables in partnership with family farmers throughout Latin America, empowering people and communities through fair trade, community investment, and development services and support.
