“We exist to help transform the way people make investments and do business in Brazil, multiplying the pillars that lead to more humane, ethical, and sustainable management to reduce inequality. We seek to connect businesses so that they connect the dots between purpose, strategic vision, and social impact. Conscious businesses must have a greater purpose; treating all stakeholders equally; creating culture and values that guarantee their perpetuity; and having conscious leaders who take care of people and our planet.” Read the full manifesto by clicking here. https://www.ccbrasil.cc/manifesto
