Transforming the Future with Green Businesses | Swisscontact

Green businesses offer Latin America a pathway to sustainable development by combining economic profitability with environmental and social responsibility. These businesses not only promote natural resource conservation and climate change mitigation, but also foster innovation, create quality jobs and strengthen the region's economic resilience. By adopting more sustainable business practices and accessing international finance and markets, green businesses in Latin America can significantly contribute to inclusive economic growth and to building a more prosperous and equitable future for all. www.swissconta...
