BUSINESS as NATURE — Association for Sustainable Growth and Production and the Circular Economy (BasN) is a non-profit association, established on May 8th, 2019, by a group of enterprising women coming from different backgrounds — yet, all working on sustainability and women’s rights. These women are motivated by a common goal: to promote the circular and low-carbon economy and sustainable modes of production and consumption, whilst emphasizing the significant role that women play as agents of change in their communities. BasN is, thus, committed to empowering women and fostering female entrepreneurship and gender equality.
About BasN
It is therefore our objective to organize and promote, at both the national and international level, several projects aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, namely SDG 5 (attaining true gender equality and empowering all women and girls) and SDG 12 (transitioning to sustainable modes of production and consumption). These projects will aim to deepen and strengthen the bonds tying citizens, consumers, companies, academia, and governmental institutions, so that they can contribute to a fairer and more responsible society.
The BasN brand
Did you know that, out of all geometric shapes, the hexagon is the one with the smallest perimeter in relation to its total area? This is why hexagons allow bees to save as much beeswax as possible and move around their hives as effortlessly as they can. Our association’s logo is meant to convey this message: just like bees, we wish to promote the better use of all the natural resources available to Humanity. Plus, the hexagon represents our association’s core values of synergy, growth, equality, creativity, and the right to freedom of expression for all.
