House of Coffee and Help

All of Sunyi’s employees are people with physical disabilities. Currently, Sunyi employs 5 full-timeworkers, all of whom have hearing disabilities (and inherent speaking disabilities). Aside from their physical disabilities that require communication to be held through sign language, all workers (barista, chef, cashier, waiter/waitress) were trained from by Sunyi’s owners.

By employing a person with disability, Sunyi’s goals are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly:

• SDG No. 1 – No poverty

• SDG No. 3 – Good health and well being

• SDG No. 8 – Decent work and economic growth

• SDG No. 10 – Reduced inequalities

Change the Way You Dress So You Can Change the World

The innovation of Christy Dawn is the direct use of deadstock and practices of regenerative farming that result in dresses that work with Mother Nature, not against her. Using deadstock gives recycled and scrapped fabric the life of forming new garments instead of being thrown away and creating mass waste. Additionally, using rotating soil on regenerative farms to produce some of their materials preserves water and supports overall soil health by increasing biodiversity. These direct practices, being full-time clothing manufacturers and farmers part-time, solve the sustainable development goal of sustainable production and consumption because they reduce the environmental harm caused by traditional fashion garment production.

Value Your Food Until It Ends Well

PT Biomethagreen Lingga Lestari creates a waste processor called Biomethagreen Biodigester (shortened to Biomethagreen). The wastes that come from domestic food waste and animal livestock waste are processed by mixing with a specific anaerobic bacteria in a container that results in biogas used for cooking fuel and fertilizers for growing crops at the beginning of the innovation. Their advanced research found that liquid fertilizer also contains prebiotics that is good for domestic animal livestock growth. It can make alternative feeds for livestock, especially for feeding fish in the form of Black Soldier Flies (BSF) larvae that are claimed as hygiene flies larvae with high protein.

Made in Colombia

"We are proudly Colombian, we are Maconbe"

MACONBE was born as a social entrepreneurship in 2018, when one of its founders Daniel Marcucci, a CESA student, had the desire to create an enterprise that would capture the ability of the Colombian company to do great things in the national market. Maconbe seeks to highlight the culture and roots that make Colombia a beautiful, diverse, and authentic country through garments and accessories for everyday use. High-quality products that evoke crafts from different regions of the country, offering something truly unique, with a high traditional, artisanal, and cultural value.

As an initial idea, it was defined to start with the production of caps for everyday use, as it is an easy product to produce and market, testing designs launched in the market and determining which designs were most liked by target consumers.

Over time, the specific idea of ​​the company has changed to focus on everyday garments and accessories that carry a handcrafted piece, once again promoting its initial idea of ​​inspiration to show the opportunity to consume nationally, making known handicrafts carried out by indigenous cultures of the country, including the Wayú community and the GunaDule community; resulting in a Colombian company that seeks to expand little by little, generating high-quality products that differ from the competition, being unique, with a high artisanal, traditional and cultural value.

As mentioned above, his portfolio is divided into two: caps with a fabric made by indigenous people of the Wayú community on the back with the Maconbe logo on the front and T-shirts with a mola made by indigenous people of the GunaDule community as a pocket on the back. Each product or each independent unit, whether they are caps or t-shirts, is unique, that is, each fabric or mola is different, making each unit special so that the client and that he feels close, values ​​more the brand and the work of the communities behind each piece. Both products come in different colors such as gray, white, green, yellow, orange, blue among others. The products are named after representative places and with Colombian culture such as Tayrona, Barú, Bacatá, Farallones among others that deserve to be valued and made known by all Colombians to remember how important it is to know and appreciate every corner of Colombia.
