KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

We believe that raising awareness is essential to understand the relevance of sustainable finance, which is often perceived as complex, not applicable, or distant from the needs and realities of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) economies. Sometimes, all that is needed is the proper awareness creation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building to reveal its importance.

We provide relevant information from reliable sources, which we consider key for informed decision-making. Obtaining this information can be time-consuming and sometimes not easily accessible to stakeholders in LAC. Therefore, our work is to reduce these barriers and act as an effective communication channel.

We stay abreast of sustainability trends and international initiatives relevant to companies in LAC, thus raising awareness and simplifying access to information through various knowledge product formats:

Webinars, collaboration spaces, teamworks, digital software, and toolkits.
Videos, podcasts, audio files.
Systematizations, case studies, storytelling, books, reports, brochures, technical manuals.
Facilitation of meetings/workshops, creation of communities of practice, exchange workshops, expert speakers, advisory roles in board meetings, development, and facilitation of multi-stakeholder Knowledge Laboratories.
Representation of interests as Points of Contact (PoCs) and Public Relations Agents (PRAs) for projects or initiatives of our clients.
