Changing the world through responsible business & social innovation.

Page 2: Evolution Factory - Changing the World through Responsible Business and Social Innovation

The logical result of our system or a missed business opportunity?

Page 3: Evolution Factory - Changing the World through Responsible Business and Social Innovation

The richest 10% of adults are accounted for 85% of the world’s

total assets.

According to the world bank, you are in the 20% richest part the

world population if you earn nothing more than $153 a

month.

Page 4: Evolution Factory - Changing the World through Responsible Business and Social Innovation

Bad business practices are

wasting resources, polluting the

environment and leading to more

poverty in the world.

Not exactly

something you can call

sustainable.

Page 5: Evolution Factory - Changing the World through Responsible Business and Social Innovation

Think about it; companies are selling products to less than 20% of the world’s population, and they are destroying their own future.

But it is a business problem

too!

“Poverty is not only a huge social problem, it’s a missed business opportunity.”

We transform problems into opportunities

Page 7: Evolution Factory - Changing the World through Responsible Business and Social Innovation

Imagine a world without poverty, its

using resources smartly.

Companies will have a much bigger market

and create value for all shareholders, the people of

the planet.

We believe companies play a key role in creating

positive change.

So what to do?

After all, in the not so long term, there is no profitable company in a poor society.

Page 8: Evolution Factory - Changing the World through Responsible Business and Social Innovation

Move from social responsibility to social leadership and play a

positive role in creating

corporate shared value (CSV).

This is not about CSR (or greenwashing).

If you ask us CSR is dead and buried, because it is based on doing less bad, instead of profiting from

the huge potential of social innovation.

“BE GOOD,

NOT LESS BAD!”

-Michael Braungart & William McDonough- Creators of the Cradle to Cradle philosophy

Page 10: Evolution Factory - Changing the World through Responsible Business and Social Innovation

This is how we see it… 1. First of all companies need to be responsible.

We can’t create the world we have in mind, when companies keep on polluting, wasting important resources, only creating more poverty and basically having no vision for tomorrow.

2. We believe that companies can create products, services and communication that generates shared value, so not only the company and shareholders but also society and the planet profits. We call this (corporate) social innovation.

3. This way companies are not only taking their responsibility, but also creating shared value, and ultimately their own future.

4. We all profit.

Now that is real

sustainability!
