ACHIEVE SUSTAINABILITY TOGETHER

Resilient and successful businesses are the ones contributing to the socio-economic improvement of the local communities, as well the ones respecting the environment around. Finding strategies to embed sustainability in the everyday business will be crucial to be resilient to the most important transition we are going through, together with the digital one: Green Transition. 

To be successful, entrepreneurs have to embed sustainability in the business strategies, activities and functions. WSO and Upwell will support you to achieve this goal, putting sustainability at the core of the business.

“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.

We aim at supporting the transition to sustainable practices, production and product through consultancy, training and technical support. We want to achieve sustainability together with businesses facing new challenges in the fields of agriculture, husbandry, fishery, processing, artisanship, tourism and transports.

The World Sustainability Organization aims at protecting critical habitats and endangered species worldwide. WSO monitors and certify virtuous & sustainable companies with Friend of the Sea and/or Friend of the Earth seal of excellence and promotes conservation and awareness campaigns and projects.

UPWELL Development Consulting combines the experience in sustainable business development, digital communication, project management and training to assist SMEs of the primary sector to face digital and green transition.
