Value Chain Investment.
These projects aim to strengthen the communities' social and productive infrastructure, focusing on sustainability and biodiversity conservation. This includes investments in agroecological systems, sustainable management of natural resources, community-based ecotourism and low-impact infrastructure.
The goal is to create a solid foundation for socioeconomic development in harmony with the preservation of local ecosystems, promoting the resilience of communities in the face of climate change.
Sustainable Finance.
GSS has developed frameworks and structures in collaboration with banks and financial sector partners to enable investment in corporate value chains through sustainable finance products, trade finance, CAPEX structuring, among others.
These programs are designed to generate measurable positive impacts on the social, economic and environmental aspects of communities. They include initiatives for biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation and mitigation, development of sustainable supply chains, payment for environmental services and strengthening of local governance. The GSS team works in partnership with communities, respecting their traditional knowledge and promoting innovative and contextualized solutions.
The training and capacity building component seeks to empower community members with knowledge and skills related to sustainability and biodiversity conservation. This includes workshops on agroecological practices, sustainable forest management, ecosystem restoration, green entrepreneurship and climate change adaptation. The aim is to empower individuals so that they can adopt sustainable practices in their productive activities, contributing to the resilience of their communities and the preservation of natural resources.
GSS’s community engagement strategies aim to strengthen ties between communities and their natural and cultural heritage. This involves valuing traditional knowledge, promoting community-led conservation initiatives and encouraging local leadership in the sustainable management of socio-biodiversity resources. The team facilitates participatory dialogues, promotes the exchange of knowledge and supports the creation of collaborative networks between different stakeholders.
Effective engagement is essential for developing lasting solutions and building a harmonious relationship between communities and the ecosystems that sustain them.
