Refugee lifeline at Ambiente

MADE 51 – an initiative of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) – will be giving a special presentation at Ambiente 2020 (Galleria 0). The initiative works with partners from industry, providing future-proof livelihoods for refugee craft-workers.

Ambiente also features a UNHCR panel discussion entitled “Beyond CSR: Engaging in Support of Refugees Using Your Core Business Model” (February 8, Ambiente Academy in Hall 9.1).

For businesses interested in exploring sustainable and fair trade business models, the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO) will be also at Ambiente (Hall 9.2 foyer).
