PodMinerar Podcast: Impact Businesses Help Build the New Economy in the Amazon
Impact businesses are ventures that aim to generate positive social and/or environmental effects and financial sustainability. These businesses grow in the Amazon region and can be great allies of traditional economic activities, helping to build a new economy, encouraging sustainable practices and reducing the environmental and social impacts of other activities.
To talk about the subject, this week’s PodMinerar Podcast invited the sociologist, master in Geopolitics and partner at Humana, Bruno Gomes, the owner of Casa do Chocolate Filha do Combu, Izete dos Santos Costa (Mrs. Nena), and the turismologist and chef of Saldosa Maloca restaurant, Prazeres Quaresma dos Santos. They talked about how they developed their own businesses in the region and how mining can contribute to the new economy.
